Climate change has no borders and affects us all. It especially hurts those in poorer countries, because unequal global systems mean life is already hard. Extreme weather, drought and rising seas are now forcing people out of their livelihoods and their homes.
With fewer resources to rely on, surviving and recovering from these disasters is more difficult. Women and girls are hit hardest because social, political and cultural systems silence their voices, and limit their access to the resources and opportunities needed to withstand and adapt to climate change.
Climate change is all around us but it’s impact is unequal. And those most affected by it, have done the least to cause it.
Young people inspired by hope, tools and knowledge take action against the unequal systems driving climate change and injustice, in their own communities and together with other changemakers across Europe. Even small actions count up to something big in the fight against the unequal systems driving climate change and injustice.
It just takes a spark – post an idea, share a conversation, kick-start a debate, find a community, plant garden, make a sustainable choice, sign a petition, cast a vote, join a march. Demand real system change now for a fair and sustainable future for all people and our planet. Every one of us can play a part in fighting climate change and injustice.
We can all spark a change, starting today.
SPARK is delivered by a diverse consortium consisting out of 20 organizations in 13 European countries, working together to spark climate justice. We do this by raising awareness, building capacity and facilitating EU citizens, particularly youth, to build and mobilize public support for ambitious gender just climate change and development policies in line with Agenda 2030.
As women and girls are disproportionately affected by climate change and often excluded from climate change adaptation strategies as a result of inequities, SPARK aims to be gender transformative, and has a strong gender justice strategy at its core.
SPARK is created and maintained with the financial support of the European Union, through the EC-DEAR (Development Education and Awareness Raising).

Die Klimakrise betrifft uns alle, aber nicht gleichermaßen. Durch Hitzewellen, zerstörerisches Wetter, steigenden Meeresspiegel und historische Hungersnöte trifft die Klimakrise die Menschen am härtesten, die am wenigsten für das Problem verantwortlich sind und aufgrund von Unterdrückung und Diskriminierung am wenigsten Mittel haben, um sich vor den Auswirkungen zu schützen. Das ist nicht gerecht.
Die von der Klimakrise betroffenen Bevölkerungsgruppen brauchen Geld und Unterstützung. Zum Beispiel für den Wiederaufbau von Häusern und Krankenhäusern oder um Menschen zu helfen, die nach einem Wirbelsturm ihre Lebensgrundlage verloren haben. Ein internationaler Fonds zur Bewältigung der Verluste und Schäden, die durch den Klimawandel verursacht sind, ist ein erster Schritt in Richtung Klimagerechtigkeit.
A klímaválság mindannyiunkat érint, de nem egyenlően. Kánikulák, pusztító időjárás, tengerszint-emelkedés és történelmi éhínség által. A klímaválság azokat érinti a legjobban, akik a legkevésbé felelősek a problémáért és legkevésbé vannak ellátva, az elnyomás és diszkrimináció miatt, ahhoz, hogy megvédjék magukat a behatásoktól. Ez az éghajlati igazságtalanság.
A klímaválsággal sújtott frontvonalban lévő közösségeknek pénzre és támogatásra van szükségük. Például otthonok és kórházak újraépítésére vagy olyan emberek kompenzálására, akik elvesztették megélhetésüket egy ciklon után. Az első lépés a klíma egyenlőség felé egy elkülönített, nemzetközi alap lenne a frontvonalban lévő közösségek számára, hogy megbirkózzanak az éghajlatváltozás legrosszabb behatásai miatt keletkezett veszteségekkel és károkkal.
The climate crisis is affecting all of us, but not equally. Through heatwaves, destructive weather, rising seas, and historic famines. The climate crisis is hitting hardest the people who are least responsible for the problem, and least resourced to protect themselves from the impacts due to oppression and discrimination. This is climate injustice.
Frontline communities hit by the climate crisis need money and support. For instance to rebuild homes and hospitals or to compensate people for losing their livelihoods after a cyclone. A dedicated, international fund for frontline communities to cope with the loss and damage due to the worst impacts of climate change is a first step towards climate justice.
