True success at COP27 means addressing climate justice — here's how to do it

The author asserts that climate justice is essential for the success of COP27, warning that climate change could push an additional 132 million people into extreme poverty by 2030. The text proposes three specific interventions: directing climate finance toward marginalized groups in the global south, ensuring adequate representation of women and marginalized communities in decision-making, and shifting investment from large corporations toward people-centric resiliency programs.

• Climate change is projected to push 132 million more people into extreme poverty by 2030, with women, girls, and marginalized communities being the most affected.
• To achieve climate justice, developed nations with historically high cumulative emissions should provide the majority of climate financing to build resiliency in developing nations.
• There is a significant imbalance in climate finance, with 90% historically allocated to mitigation for large corporations, leaving negligible funding for climate justice and resiliency.
• The author argues that achieving Gender Equality (Sustainable Development Goal 5) can act as an accelerator for the other 16 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
