the swedish teenager greta thunberg, who launched the fridays for future movement, will address felloware calling for �*climatejustice' — but what exactly does that mean? here's our reality check correspondent chris morris to explain. who is most responsible for climate change? who's worst affected by it? and who should take the lead in trying to fix it? these are the big questions at the heart of climate justice. the poorest and most vulnerable people around the world are the least likely to cause the pollution leading to climate change. if you look at the greenhouse gas emissions that are heating the planet up, the richest 1% of the earth's population are responsible for more than the poorest 50%. yet the poor are often the most likely to be affected by its most detrimental impacts — farmland turning into desert, sea level rises threatening homes, or extreme weather events like flash floods and wildfires. these things can happen anywhere, but the poorest countries have far fewer resources to deal with them. climate justice also means taking account of historical emissions. it's true
