Floods, heatwaves, drought, biodiversity loss: these events are worsened by climate change, and result in the loss of lives, livelihoods, lands, knowledge, cultural heritage and identities. The impacts of the climate crisis equate to violence on a scale never seen before. And the evidence overwhelmingly tells us who is responsible.

At the core of arguments for climate reparations, is the need for high-emitting countries and companies to take responsibility, through economic contributions, for the profound harms of climate-induced disasters in vulnerable nations.

It’s a large and nuanced topic, so let’s get into it.
