Climate Justice and Resilience

🌱 Climate Justice ensures fairness and equity in how individuals and communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from the impacts of climate change. It addresses vulnerabilities while leveraging resources and capabilities for effective mitigation and adaptation.

🌟 Climate Resilience focuses on building the capacity to withstand and manage climate-related challenges, preventing them from further exacerbating vulnerabilities.
