All of the above.

Racism prevents people of color from focusing on climate change

Racism justified colonization and the extraction of resources, fuelling the climate crisis

The climate crisis disproportionately affects people of color

All of the above

Climate adaptation can either worsen or alleviate existing inequalities.

Climate adaptation has the potential to worsen existing inequalities and careful planning is needed to prevent this.

Climate adaptation will help address inequality because it keeps people safe from the effects of climate change.

Climate adaptation worsens inequality, because only wealthier countries and communities can afford to protect themselves
