      • Climate Justice Now! (CJN!) is a global coalition of networks and organizations campaigning for climate justice.
      The coalition was founded at the 2007 UNFCCC meeting in Bali, and has since mobilized for UNFCCC meetings in Bangkok, Copenhagen and Cancun.
      Climate Justice Now, (CJN!), is a movement advocating for equitable solutions to the climate crisis, emphasizing the need to address the disproportionate impacts of climate change on marginalized communities. It recognizes that those who contribute the least to greenhouse gas emissions often suffer the most severe consequences, such as extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and food insecurity. By promoting policies that prioritize the needs of vulnerable populations, Climate Justice Now seeks to ensure that climate action is not only effective but also fair and inclusive. This movement highlights the interconnectedness of environmental, social, and economic issues, urging governments, organizations, and individuals to take collective responsibility in fostering a sustainable and just future for all. Through grassroots activism, advocacy, and education, Climate Justice Now calls for systemic change to create a resilient planet where everyone has the right to thrive. CJN also strives to combat the conflict with carbon trade, in tandem with other climate NGOs.


      Climate Justice Through Litigation


      Recent research highlights the increasing role of litigation as a strategy for climate justice. NGOs like CJN often utilize human rights frameworks to hold governments and corporations accountable for climate change impacts. This approach has gained prominence, especially in cases where vulnerable communities are disproportionately affected by climate change.It also seeks legal remedies for environmental harms, ensuring that the responsibility for addressing climate impacts is shared equitably. Examples include leveraging the European Court of Human Rights for environmental cases, emphasizing NGOs' role in enforcing fair governance and legal standards.
