## Resource

Climate change is never socially neutral. Political scientist Dr. Rebecca Marwege explains climate justice by examining who caused the crisis, who experiences the greatest harm, and who has the resources and power to respond. Cases involving the Lebu fishing community in Senegal and Far Rockaway after Hurricane Sandy show how climate adaptation, displacement, rebuilding, and even the ability to remain at home are shaped by inequality. The episode distinguishes climate justice from environmental justice and warns against reductionism, inverse reductionism, and technological solutionism. It makes the case for interdisciplinary research that joins environmental science with political, social, and ethical analysis so that climate policy protects communities instead of reproducing existing injustice.
