social exclusion

GCAP Argentina (FOCO / Ningun hogar pobre en Argentina) have organised a Climate Justice Workshop which took place on 3rd December.

"The socially excluded, the Scheduled Castes and tribals, urge the world to ponder over the behavior of India’s castes and classes in relation to their contribution to damage to climate. Why a person who has no role in carbon emissions should pay for the same?" - Ashok Barti, from the GCAP Social Exclusion task force, writes about the impact of Climate Change on the Dalits in India.

Activists from around the world have arrived in Copenhagen in trains and bikes, ready to put pressure their governments to agree a fair, ambitious and binding deal which recognises the challenges posed by climate change to those most vulnerable to its effects -- men and women living in poverty and the socially excluded -- and puts people at the heart of climate change solutions.

Thousands of Dalits and socially excluded people will march from Ramlila Grounds to Parliament Street in New Delhi to highlight their plight and demands with special reference to climate justice.
