Friends of the Earth, Australia launched its national Climate Justice Campaign in 2001.

In launching this campaign Friends of the Earth Australia has identified the following key principles in relation to climate change impacts and politics:

• We recognise that climate change is an environmental issue that has a human rights impact.

• We recognise that climate change is caused by systemic inequalities in global resource allocation and use.

• We aim for a global solution to the threat of climate change based on a fair share of sustainable resource use for all people.

• We aim to raise community awareness about climate change and its causes.

• We conduct research into the systemic causes and effects of climate change, both within Australia and globally.

• We encourage planned action which targets government and corporate activity that threatens our climate and perpetuates climate injustice.

• We are part of a national alliance and international network of climate justice campaigners.

• We are committed to creating an Asia-Pacific-Oceania alliance for climate justice that works towards an equitable share of environmental space for all.

Following these principles we welcome your involvement in the campaign to protect our climate and share the world equitably.
