“…This dimension emphasises ethical responsibilities to future generations, advocating for policies that mitigate climate change and its impacts on the yet unborn. Intergenerational justice claims that current climate-related policies often do not adequately address the intergenerational impacts of climate change Hughes and Hoffmann (2020), Mugambiwa (2021), Rahman (2022. It calls for robust legal frameworks that safeguard the rights and interests of future generations.…”

This research paper interrogates the extent to which indigenous, ethnic, and racial diversity is substantively integrated into climate justice discussions with a focus on New Zealand’s climate change adaptation policies. A qualitative research design is used, employing a documentary analysis and summative content analysis to scrutinise New Zealand climate change adaptation policies and their responsiveness to indigenous, ethnic and racial diversity within the ambit of climate justice. This study aims to measure the extent to which these policies promote inclusive and equitable climate adaptation outcomes. This study makes a significant contribution to the nuanced understanding of climate justice research, particularly regarding indigenous and ethnic minority communities. The study is expected to contribute to the existing knowledge base and inform the formulation of inclusive policies that integrate the diverse perspectives of these communities into climate adaptation and policy-making processes. The research findings highlight existing gaps and emphasise the importance of incorporating indigenous, ethnic, and racial diversity into policy development and implementation. The aim is to shape climate adaptation strategies that are representative of aware of insights from various communities in contemporary cities.

This study aims to analyze and evaluate students’ perceptions of climate change in Vietnam today, through various communication methods such as social networks, newspapers, educational programs. This study is based on a survey taken by 460 university students. Quantitative analysis was conducted using frequency statistics, Cronbach’s Alpha and EFA. The results show that there are significant differences between students when there are two opposing opinions: climate change can be overcome in the future and climate change is unlikely to be overcome in the future. Students draw conclusions through their own understanding of climate change. After conducting the research as well as after consulting and analyzing quantitative data, along with collecting and surveying students’ opinions, we were able to come up with methods to improve our actions. Students in particular, and people in general, lack awareness on environmental protection, especially in terms of the improvement of educational programs and promotion of propaganda about environmental protection consciousness. Youngpeople represent the future generation of knowledge that influences the development of the national environment. Keywords: climate change, perception, environment management, consciousness

“…However, international agreements led by state actors have not comprehensively provided solutions to the imbalance in global climate justice [2]. Despite bearing the brunt of climate risks, rural communities are often excluded from climate policy discussions due to unequal access to information, perpetuating existing inequalities [3]. Until now, the issue of climate change continues to evolve and remains a concern almost thirty years later.…”

Climate injustice has become a prominent issue following the Paris Agreement, where emissions generated by developed countries burden local communities in developing countries. Consequently, one of the efforts to address climate injustice for communities in the Global South is through climate litigation processes. The process itself is a challenging one since the litigants need support legally and politically to ensure it has proceeded. Here, non-governmental organisation’s (NGO) engagement is the most feasible support that local communities can access. This article analyzes the dynamics of climate justice attempts through a unique case study: climate litigation between residents of Pulau Pari, a small island located in the Java Sea, Indonesia, and the cement giant Holcim-LaFarge in Switzerland. This climate litigation is advocated by three collaborating NGOs: HEKS (Switzerland), ECCHR (Germany), and WALHI (Indonesia). Using a qualitative method, we analyze the role of NGO advocacy in the litigation process using the advocacy function concept by Joseph Szarka; issue framing, construction and dissemination of knowledge, responsibility attribution, political lobbying, public mobilization and agenda setting. We argue that the advocacy support of the three related NGOs amplified the climate litigation process beyond legal proceedings. The strategy of advocating climate litigation is an innovative way to create wider recognition from the international community and push adaptation to the struggle of the local community.
