Our new report, “From Colonial Exploitation to Climate Vulnerability: A Legacy of Injustice for Marginalized Communities – Non-Economic Loss & Damage in Asia and the Pacific”, uncovers how the roots of today’s climate crisis are tangled in the history of colonial exploitation.
This extractive system left deep economic and environmental disparities that persist until today.
While industrialized nations reaped the benefits of economic growth, colonized territories bore the environmental costs, enduring deforestation, resource depletion and ecological destruction.
When Global Minority nations have contributed disproportionately to the climate crisis, Global Majority nations face the most severe impacts.
✊ The past is not just history—it is the foundation of today’s climate injustices. Climate justice must recognize and address these historical imbalances!
