Climate Change and its Equality Implications in Focus. A Guide for Equinet Members Starting to Work on the Climate/Equality Nexus is a guide designed to support Equality Bodies in understanding and addressing the intersection of climate change and equality. Based on insights from the Equinet seminar held in November 2024 and looking ahead, this publication explores the role of Equality Bodies in ensuring that climate policies incorporate equality considerations and do not disproportionately impact vulnerable groups.
Key Aspects:
- The Climate/Equality Nexus: Understanding how climate change exacerbates existing inequalities.
- Legal & Policy Frameworks: Mapping EU and international commitments to climate justice and equality.
- Equality Bodies’ Actions: Showcasing examples of Equality Bodies integrating equality into climate policies.
- Collaborations & Advocacy: Exploring partnerships with policy–makers, civil society, and environmental stakeholders engaged in the field of climate and environment.
This guide serves as a crucial resource for Equality Bodies and policymakers working to align environmental and climate action with social justice principles.
