Climate justice

Hope, resilience, and the fight for a sustainable future. Climate Justice is a fundamental work for understanding today's climate issues. Includes a foreword by the author, written especially for the Brazilian edition.

Climate Justice is a book written by many voices, some from Ireland, Kenya, Lapland, the United States, Vietnam, and Kiribati. What they all have in common are moving and real-life accounts of the effects of climate change on life. Unpredictable rainfall patterns, floods, tsunamis, hurricanes, crop failures, and forest fires: the phenomenon of climate change on planet Earth is real and overwhelming. But beyond tragedy, these voices bring hope and resilience.

Mary Robinson, a lawyer, former president of Ireland, and UN special envoy for climate change, is responsible for bringing together these stories, which she collected around the world during her years participating in debates and conferences on human rights and climate. Robinson demonstrates the great power of exchange, dialogue, and encounter, and shows how empathy and individual and local actions can become examples of the paths forward for a more just and sustainable world.

Climate Justice has a special edition, with a previously unpublished foreword by the author, written especially for Brazil. This timely publication is the result of a partnership between Editora Civilização Brasileira and the NGOs Instituto Alana and LACLIMA, institutions aware of the importance of bringing this urgent and hopeful story to everyone.
