Climate Justice
Climate change is hitting the most vulnerable people on the planet the hardest. We believe we can build a world where all people and the planet can thrive.
Everyone has the right to a just and sustainable world in which they can thrive. But, every day, poverty is made worse by the devastating impacts of climate change.
Our current economic model, with its overdependence on extractive resources, is deepening a climate crisis that is destroying millions of lives and livelihoods. Right now, our planet is changing forever, and an ever-growing number of people are being forced from their homes.
For millions, climate change means loss of livelihoods, ecosystems, identity and well-being in the countries that are the least responsible, but the most impacted by climate change. There is a clear connection between climate change, gender inequality and humanitarian crises, and Oxfam advances solutions that consider that full picture.
What Is Oxfam Doing?
Together with local partners, we support people around the world to prepare and adapt to climate change, and respond quickly to those affected by the climate crisis as it destroys homes and tears apart families. We work with women- and youth-led organizations to make climate financing adequate and predictable and to advocate for the transition to a global green economy, holding the most powerful to account in order to turn the tide from climate change to climate justice.
