We can do something about climate change. Here are 12 climate activists from around the world who are inspiring us to take action

Climate change has its own complex language, but here are 5 essential terms to get you started.

The three global challenges of climate change, extreme poverty and conflict are converging to form a new epicenter of crisis. But these communities at the epicenter of the climate crisis are being unjustly abandoned by global leaders. Climate-vulnerable, conflict-affected communities contribute the least to climate change, bear its worst impacts, and yet have been consistently left out of the business-as-usual approach to climate action focused on stable settings. COP28 has the opportunity to address the climate injustices facing the most vulnerable communities worldwide—not just fragile states, but specifically climate-vulnerable, conflict-affected countries. Global leaders at the annual climate conference can shift power to the communities at the epicenter of the climate crisis and contribute to the achievement of climate justice by committing to improving risk mapping of conflict-affected communities to target action where it is most needed, investing in innovative adaptation, resilience and anticipatory action designed for conflict settings, adopting a “people-first” approach to delivery through meaningful non-governmental partnerships, and making climate finance more equitable and accessible to adequately resource action.

A compound crisis of armed conflict and climate change is driving unprecedented levels of humanitarian need, displacement and food insecurity in the Central Sahel: Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. But these impacts are distributed neither equally nor randomly across the region. This report examines how political decisions dating from the French colonial rule through the early 2000s have marginalized peripheral areas of the Central Sahel states both economically and politically.

As the United States and Europe deal with a heat wave, people least responsible for global emissions are on the front lines of an urgent, deadly battle against climate change.
