Climate Justice: Challenges and Impacts

This lecture by Augustin Fragnière from UNIL addresses the unequal impacts of climate change on societies, the main international climate agreements, and the phenomenon of climate skepticism. It explores the risks posed by climate change, including food scarcity, health issues, and infrastructure damage. The concept of risk is discussed in relation to climate change, highlighting the potential negative consequences and the socio-economic processes involved. The lecture also delves into the notion of climate justice, examining the distribution of risks and emissions based on income levels and emphasizing the importance of fair allocation of the remaining carbon budget.
