雷速体育_雷速体育直播 the project
The project generates research and evidence for climate and social policy which supports climate justice and a transformative just transition. The project explores the intersections between inequality and climate change in the global South. The project conceptualises inequality broadly, including issues of economic inequality, as well as inequality associated with gender, race, ethnicity and geography.
These intersections play out along three main axes. First, the responsibility for causing climate change is not shared by all humans, as countries in the global North and wealthy people have much higher carbon emissions per capita than the global average. Second, there are inequalities in the impacts of climate change, which are disproportionately experienced by people in the global South. Third, there is inequality in access to resources to address climate change for many countries in the global South, but particularly for lower income groups.
There are four overarching research questions within this project
- Is the ‘just transition’ (discourse and practice) in the global South, as it is currently unfolding, exacerbating or reducing inequality?
- How can a gendered approach to just transition help reduce inequality through concepts of care and social reproduction?
- What kinds of macroeconomic policy can support structural transformation, redistribution, and decarbonisation in global South countries?
- How can south-south solidarities inform energy and climate policy?
