Climate Justice Glossary

Permission is required to reproduce any part of this publication.

Welcome to YCL’s Climate Justice Glossary! In its creation, we wanted to provide a list of terms and concepts that frequently come up in the discussions of climate justice & the climate crisis. This is an introductory resource, to begin to demystify some complex terms that get tossed around frequently but can be, initially, hard to grasp. This glossary is by no means complete in its terms, nor in its definitions.

TIPS FOR EXPLORING: There are many ways to use this glossary, one of which is to simply search for terms you are interested in! This will show you the definition (if this glossary contains it) along with other related terms and resources. Some terms are accompanied by additional resources for further learning, and we encourage you to use them!
