  2. Climate Justice is Migrant Justice

Climate Justice = Migrant Justice

The impacts of the climate crisis and environmental degradation fall disproportionately on people of colour, and on communities in the Global South. 

The richest 1% of the world’s population cause twice as much carbon dioxide as the poorest 50%.

That same poorest 50% – 3.5 billion people – live overwhelmingly in countries most vulnerable to climate change, meaning that they are bearing the brunt of a crisis they did not cause.

And because of the structure of the world's border system, the people most affected by the climate crisis - whose livelihoods and homes are lost - will be least able to move across borders in search of a liveable life.

How we respond to this matters now. Migrants and people of colour - who will be most impacted by the crisis - must be at the forefront of the struggle for a better world. And the struggle cannot be won unless we are united. Without climate justice, there can be no migrant justice.
