This publication, developed in cooperation between the Social and Human Sciences Sector of UNESCO and “la Caixa” Foundation, forms an intellectual partnership dedicated to addressing the complex and interconnected challenges society faces. It focuses on understanding and tackling the unequal impacts of climate change and the polices designed to mitigate and adapt to these effects. By prioritizing equity and inclusivity, it aims to deepen understanding of how climate change disproportionately impacts vulnerable populations, including marginalized communities, low-income workers, and regions with limited capacity to adapt. It also critically examines the unintended social and economic consequences of climate policies, ensuring that proposed solutions foster just and sustainable outcomes rather than exacerbating existing inequalities. UNESCO and “la Caixa” Foundation are committed to translate knowledge into meaningful policy frameworks, developing actionable solutions that prioritize the well-being of all people in the face of a societal transformations.
