This activity helps to highlight climate justice issues using carbon emission and vulnerability data for a selection of countries using ‘Top Trump’ cards. Students compare countries’ historical carbon emissions and their vulnerability to climate change, revealing that nations with lower emissions often face greater climate impacts. This activity emphasises the need for equitable climate policies and international support for vulnerable countries, underscoring the importance of addressing climate justice by helping those who have contributed least to the problem but suffer the most.

A short video featuring participants in Eco UNESCO’s Youth Climate Advocate Programme, who explain what they understand by climate justice. This video can be used to introduce the topic of climate justice and generate responses from students about their own views.
