Climate change disproportionally impacts the poorest 3 billion people on the planet. Climate justice demands that those who bear primary responsibility for producing climate change must not only change their behaviors, to slow global warming, but must actively address the impacts of global warming on the world’s most vulnerable people. Illustrating the disproportionate impact of climate on the poor through concrete case studies is a powerful tool for communicating the imperatives of climate justice. Concrete cases help to communicate the suffering that irresponsible energy consumption and emissions production have on real people.
In this assignment, please identify a case study that richly illustrates the negative impact of climate on an already vulnerable group, village, city, region, or country. Your case study should examine both the “primary” effects of climate on the natural environment and the “secondary” effects of these impacts on the lives of vulnerable people. Your case study should focus on a particular social or economic group that has been subjected to either climate-induced catastrophic events, like hurricanes and floods, or to the slower-moving impacts of global warming like long-term drought and famine. You could select farmers in Afghanistan, children in Bengal, Mexican migrant workers in California’s Central Valley, or African Americans in hurricane-stricken New Orleans. Your options are wide open. The choice is yours — but be sure that you have adequate resources to write an intelligent essay, organized along the lines below.
Introduce your case: the location (and its political, social, and economic conditions) and the quality of life of your chosen group living within that context. Help your reader understand the vulnerability of this group. (1 page, double-spaced)
Discuss the effects of climate change in this context. Discuss the “primary effects of climate” on the natural environment, and the impact it has on people’s lives as well as the “secondary effects” for people (or a subset of people) within that context – economic well-being, livelihood, health, personal security, stability of living conditions, etc. (1.5-2 pages, double spaced)
Finally, discuss any strategies that individuals or communities within that context have employed to adapt to the impacts of climate on their lives – and the challenges they face (financial, educational, and technological) in pursuing these adaptive strategies. (1-2 pages, double-spaced)
You will need to do some empirical research on your case study to enrich your understanding. You can use traditional sources such as books, articles, and newspapers — as well as the internet, television and radio, film and documentary, music, art, etc. Just remember to be critical of your sources.
