In his interview with Ecosystemic, Dan Schrag explains how climate justice should be called climate injustice because the majority of those suffering from (and those who will suffer from) the negative impacts of climate change are not the ones who caused it. Wealthy corporations, political figures, and past generations who contributed to these threats will not feel the consequences. Minorities, developing nations, and later generations (including ourselves) will face the ramifications.
Part of Interview it Refers to:
“There is intergenerational justice and injustice. We caused the problem, it’s gonna be our great-grandchildren who are really going to suffer. That’s unfair. They are going to inherit a world that is very constrained… You are going to inherit a quickly changing world. That’s unfair.” -Dan Schrag, Ecosystemic interview 2021.
