Rooted in the concept of climate justice, the study highlights the importance of inclusion in addressing the impacts of climate change and ensuring that solutions benefit all. Beyond environmental goals, climate justice integrates social issues and calls for inclusive practices that amplify the voices of underrepresented communities in projects, initiatives, and decision-making processes.

Central to the research is the lens of intersectionality, a framework that examines how intersecting identities such as socio-economic status, nationality, gender and age, shape individual experiences of disadvantage or privilege. This approach helps to identify the complexity of systemic barriers that prevent vulnerable groups from fully participating in climate action and provides actionable insights into how these challenges might be overcome.
