Introduction[edit]

This project will work on issues related to climate justice and environmental justice.

To-do list[edit]

edit this page with visual editor

impact on disproportionately affected places[edit]

See our evolving style guide for guidance on writing about climate change in geographies
See below for articles by place
to create: missing on articles about "Climate change in X country". Lots are currently missing, particularly for smaller nations (but also India and Malaysia!) see Category:Climate_change_by_country
US states and territories also have individual articles: Category:Climate change in the United States by state
Major global cities should either have a section in the main article about the impact of climate change or a separate article. See for example Boston#Climate_change_and_sea_level_rise. This is MISSING from the vast majority of city articles.

General things to do[edit]

check sources - are they up to date? Neutral?
are current laws in a jurisdiction (eg a US state) listed?
is the article accessible/readable to a layperson? If not, try to write a better summary
does the lede adequately summarize the article?
are there any pictures or open access scientific graphs on commons to add to the article?
