A Warming Planet and a Shifting Population

Many people in the Global North enjoy the benefits of extraction economies that exacerbate ocean acidification, rising sea levels and drought.

Environmental justice theory and activism seek to address these uneven distributions of the benefits and burdens of environmental harm.
