🌿 \"The poorest and marginalized communities suffer the most from climate change,\" says Kayo Moura, research coordinator at the Decodifica Institute, during an insightful interview with CGTN Reporter Li Jingjing.
Moura highlighted the pressing issue of environmental justice, emphasizing how climate change isn't just an environmental problem—it's a social one too. 🌎 From devastating floods to catastrophic landslides, it's the underprivileged who bear the brunt of these disasters.
It's shocking to think that the richest 1% of the world's population produce the same amount of carbon emissions as the poorest 66%. 😮 This massive disparity underscores the urgent need for change. It's time for those with the most resources to step up and take responsibility for their impact on our planet. 💪
\"We need to fight for environmental justice,\" Moura asserts. \"It's about creating a sustainable future where everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status, can thrive.\"
As climate change continues to affect communities worldwide, voices like Moura's remind us that the battle for our planet is also a battle for equality. Let's stand together and make a difference! ✊🌱
