Locally and globally, what will it take to reorient towards climate justice? - Centre for Just Places

Governments and leaders at all levels have been urged to step up investment in efforts to promote climate justice for communities, especially those most likely at risk of inequitable climate impacts.

The call came at the launch this week of a report released by Jesuit Social Services’ Centre for Just Places, ‘Collaborative Action Plan for climate justice in Melbourne’s west’, which is the result of a year-long project to articulate a shared vision for climate justice in Melbourne’s west.

The project brought together 44 health and community service organisations, as well as policymakers, and sector networks, to identify needs, opportunities, and a strategic direction for action and advocacy in this region.

While the project is focused on a particular part of Melbourne, the report and its findings will likely be of interest and use much more broadly, especially as the COP27 meeting is putting the focus on climate justice between and within countries.
