Billions live in environments that violate human rights, global analysis finds More than 99% of the world's 7.7 billion people have one or more of their environmental rights threatened, according to new research.

"Much of the poor environmental conditions around the globe result from the activities of wealthy nations." For ex, US pollution ▶️ "12,000 deaths from poor air quality in India each year & 38,000 deaths in China." EU emissions ▶️ extreme weather events in Africa & the Amazon.

#GlobalClimateInjustice

+ We know which countries are most responsible for the historic greenhouse emissions & #overconsumption driving climate change (aka the early stages of climate #collapse). They are not Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia or Sri Lanka.

#GlobalClimateInjustice = those least responsible suffer the most.

#GlobalClimateInjustice is painful.

Africa is only responsible for 2-3% of the emissions causing manmade climate change, yet the people there often suffer the worst consequences from #climatecrisis harm.

Meanwhile, the biggest historic polluter = most responsible, the U.S., is a climate denier.

Vanessa Nakate: A 2C hotter world is a death sentence for countries like mine Climate crisis is not a PR opportunity for governments, but a real threat. Developing countries need funding now to help them cut emissions, before the point of no return

Thank you! I hate how it's often rich people in rich countries pushing the idea that global warming at higher levels is even survivable.

Even 2º C warming is considered "a death sentence" for millions (billions) of vulnerable people. #VanessaNakate #globalclimateinjustice #lossandamage

"Those who contribute the least greenhouse gases will be most impacted by climate change."

"Why worry about something as trivial as inequality," someone said.

Millions of people least responsible for causal emissions, esp in the #GlobalSouth, are suffering the most *now* from #climatecrisis harm to their LIVES/livelihoods/food/water = the opposite of "trivial."
