Climate justice

The climate crisis threatens people worldwide – but hits those in the Global South the hardest, even though they have contributed the least to its creation. It is therefore not only an ecological crisis, but above all a question of global justice.

We work towards climate justice and climate reparations . Climate policy must not stop at emissions reduction and adaptation. It must acknowledge who caused the crisis, who profits from it, and who is paying for its consequences today. For us, climate reparations mean making the causes of the climate crisis and its colonial continuities visible in current trade, debt, and power structures; recognizing historical and ongoing responsibility; and demanding accountability. At its core, this means a redistribution of power and resources as the foundation for a socio-ecological transformation that makes a good life possible for all.

In our mission statement , we explain why we are working on this topic, what understanding of climate justice we follow, and what political positions guide us.
