Key opinion shapers’ perceptions of climate migration: Why and how to put climate justice at the centre of climate change education.

Abstract

The domain of climate justice has yet to receive sufficient attention in the realm of research on climate change education. This paper seeks to address the significant issue of migration as a result of climate change, which is widely regarded as a major injustice. Specifically, it aims to examine how journalists, NGOs, and policy makers conceptualise climate migration and the related concept of climate justice. These actors play a critical role in shaping individuals' understanding of climate change and their ability to make informed decisions about it. The study utilises its generated results to propose a structure for prioritising climate justice in climate change education, with the aim of facilitating the societal revaluation of climate change.
