Linking health justice, social justice, and climate justice<br />
Khadj Rouf, Tony Wainwright<br />
The Lancet, The Planetary Health, Volume 4, Issue 4, April 01, 2020<br />
Linking health, social, and climate justice can lead to the transformative activism<br />
that is needed for a better, healthier, and fairer world for everyone. The question<br />
now is, are you willing to help?<br />
Climate emergency is here. In 2019, many catastrophic climate events occurred,<br />
including huge cyclones in Mozambique and The Bahamas, protracted bushfires<br />
in Australia, and widespread flooding in Jakarta, Indonesia. Climate models<br />
predict further unprecedented and extreme weather events due to global heating.<br />
Unfortunately, there is still no unified political consensus regarding how to respond<br />
to the emergency. Individuals’ perceptions have a huge effect on how they respond<br />
to crises. If something is not perceived as an emergency, people do not react<br />
quickly. If people recognise that there is an emergency, then those people act to<br />
prevent further harms, prepare for and mitigate against harm, adapt, and have<br />
emergency drills. This action is part of good safety planning and it saves lives. Yet,<br />
some individuals are skeptical about whether the global climate crisis is happening,<br />
and whether human activity is responsible. Political orientation and ideology might<br />
influence framing of climate change and shared perceptions of the problem. There<br />
is a range of responses to the climate emergency, which are shaped by power,<br />
privilege, and psychology. Psychology shapes how individuals perceive risk and<br />
whether they connect health, social, and environmental justice together as related<br />
issues that affect everyone.<br />
