The book “Climate Justice in the Earth: Research, Movements and Instituions in Actions for Empowerment” are an open access volume published by CRC Press. This volume deals with the issue of justice as a crucial topic to understand how climate change can have spatially and socially differentiated, unequal and asymmetrical impacts on local communities and societies. Hence, this book would explore researches and case studies that apply a climate justice approach and investigate how and why communities deal with inequities from climate change in relation to different topics. Moreover, while the key issue of climate justice is usually related to a global scale, the book integrates a more local perspective, with examples both from the Global South to the Global North.
