# What Does Global Justice Have to do With the Climate Crisis?

[![GJ 1.PNG](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/scaled-1680-/gj-1.PNG)](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/gj-1.PNG)

Global Justice and climate justice are inherently linked, as climate change devastates countries around the world but particularly in the global south. These countries have fewer resources for dealing with climate catastrophe and often have much more harsh punishments for climate activism.

Outlined in this pack are a few ideas and resources to help get your action planning juices flowing and give you some inspiration for actions you can do in your local area. 

To achieve our goal of mass mobilisation we need everyone- we need you.
These Ideas are only suggestions and we encourage you to think about what  affects your local community and how you can tie in your existing campaigns.

Countries in the global south are some of the first to feel the effects of climate breakdown and often get blamed for the rise in temperatures. 

Yet it is high income global north countries who produce the majority of the cumulative greenhouse gas emissions.

This follows a history of colonisation and global unrest.  Climate change exacerbates existing inequalities such as food & water scarcity, poverty and access to housing. This in turn makes it harder for low income countries to prepare for climate breakdown.

Conflict and arms trades, which are sadly so prevalent in our world today, also exacerbate the effects of climate change. There is already data that suggests that the number of conflicts is rising, along with the global temperature increase. This is a trend we are likely to see continue as the earth continues to heat, and the impacts of the climate emergency become more acute.

# Potential Targets & Action Ideas

### Conflict & the Arms Trade
There are many conflicts happening across the globe as we speak. Peace is beneficial to all, including the earth. It is estimated 5.5% of global emissions come from militarism, which is equivalent to 2.2 billion tons of CO2. Get people informed about this: [War & Peace Messaging Pack](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/books/messaging/page/war-peace-messaging-connecting-conflict-climate)

### Fundraising for Global South Activists
Activists in the global south have been protecting the earth for generations. They do not have the same access to resources as we do, let's help them out: [Fundraising Methods](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/books/finance-and-fundraising/chapter/fundraising-methods)

To find out where to send the money contact The XRUK Rebel Hive at: <hive@extinctionrebellion.uk>.

### Collaborating with Other Countries
Collaborating with other countries on actions that have a global impact is a great way to practise active solidarity.

To find out how to connect with other countries, contact the XRUK Rebel Hive at <hive@extinctionrebellion.uk>.

### Education
Outreach & Education is another great way to raise the alarm about the global effects of the climate & ecological emergency: [Rebel Toolkit Outreach Shelf](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/shelves/08-outreach-and-integration).
