Title

Advancing climate justice: Aligning the strategies with SDGs

Creator

Pandey, Ananya; Joseph, Jipson

Description

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a collection of universal objectives focused on sustainable development, were established by the UN in 2015 in view of its 2030 Agenda for a sustainable future. The SDGs tackle urgent environmental problems related to the Anthropocene like climate change and pertinent socioeconomic complexities. Human-made climate change is a serious worldwide concern that threatens the accomplishment of all SDGs, including SDG 13, a specific climate target. However, an alignment of these goals with climate justice is crucial to address the challenges faced by the vulnerable and marginalized strata of society. Justice is a highly acclaimed value of human survival and international collaborative efforts. The application of a justice perspective to the discussions of climate change and SDGs will provide more significance to the claims. In light of the above, this chapter explores SDGs and related strategies for advancing the cause of climate justice. 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
