Guides For and By Those with Lived Experience and Impacted by Climate Change

Climate Justice Union CJU lived experience guides for those impacted by climate change and the least heard in our community.

Contents

Introduction

The Climate Justice Union CJU wanted a way for some of those most impacted by climate change and the least heard of our community, to meaningfully contribute to the direction & content of our work for climate justice – So they created the Justice LEAG.

These guides are part of broader body of work that came from series of discussions and conversations that took place online and in person, using mouth words, pictures, text and stories. Yarned and created in 2024 by members of the Justice LEAG.

This work isn’t complete and is ongoing, it is a summary of shared stories and ideas.
