III International Conference on Climate Justice | Where to leave fossil fuel underground: Toward Just Criteria | 2022

The impact of climate change it’s not equal in all the world and most vulnerable countries are more exposed to damage caused by extreme weather events. Some pay more than others! So it is important to create political instruments to safeguard territories and people suffering the burdens of these events. During the COP26 and the Intermediate Negotiate of Bonn there has been strong resistance to the creation of instruments related to Loss and Damage. What could be good practices to encourage this type of issue? Why is climate justice still little discussed within climate policies and more generally in the working tables of the COPs? In leaving fossil fuel underground how to recognize the differentiated burdens of climate change?
