Union of Justice

Union of Justice is a European, independent, people of colour (POC) led organisation dedicated to racial justice and climate justice. Indeed, we maintain that there is a clear and crucial connection between both: we cannot talk about the climate crisis without recognising that it is also an inequality and race issue. The fight for climate justice is the fight of our lives, and we need to wage it right and on all fronts. However, the effects of the climate crisis are unequal and unfair. This crisis was created by the privileged few, but is hitting ethnic minorities and marginalised communities the hardest. Without a radical and rapid change of course, this unjust trend threatens to add itself to the profound historic injustices POC across Europe and the globe already confront. Union of Justice aims to defend, protect, and extend human rights and basic entitlements in the fight for racial equality across Europe while bringing about a just climate transition. Our proximal goals are, therefore, to ensure that centralised projects and decisions regarding European climate action do not worsen injustice and that POC voices and concerns are heard and embraced. A just climate transition demands that we ensure that any and all remedial action against climate change is just, inclusive, and diverse in outlook.
