Climate justice takes the challenge of climate while holding as a tenet that low-income individuals and communities are more exposed to environmental hazards and pollution that those that actually contribute to climate pollution. From the wiki:

Communities of color, women, indigenous groups, and people of low-income all face an increased vulnerability to climate change. These groups will be disproportionately impacted due to heat waves, air quality, and extreme weather events.

I want to check with this community on whether this is the right lens to view the problem though, and what the trade-offs are when viewing it this way.
