A coalition of civil society organisations has called for the integration of social justice into climate action.

The coalition known as Social Justice Community of Practice made the demand at a workshop organised in Abuja on Wednesday.

“Generally, we sometimes do not realise that climate justice is a social justice issue. Climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, including rural farmers and urban slum dwellers, women, and the poor, both economically and socially. “So, we are here to see how climate change affects social justice. As a country, Nigeria has a lot of issues around social justice. We have the issues of access to health, energy poverty, and gas flaring. This contributes to global warming. In 2022, we had the worst flooding in Nigeria. All these affect Nigerians,” he said.
