Beyond the devastating air and ground offensive in Gaza, what is the link between the Israeli occupation and climate justice?
From protests at COP28 in December last year, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, to social media campaigns such as #NoClimateJusticeWithoutHumanRights, climate activists have been advocating for the inclusion of Palestine in the global debate on climate justice. The first months of Israel’s war on Gaza produced more greenhouse gases than 20 climate-vulnerable countries do in a year, according to a recent study published by British and American researchers. But beyond carbon emissions from the war on Gaza, what is the connection between Israel’s decades-long occupation of the Palestinian territories and the broader narrative of global climate justice?
