HOW TO NAVIGATE THE COMPENDIUM
The Compendium is a work in progress and is only an initial assessment intended as a start. Our aim is that this Compendium will become an open-source and participatory effort to maintain up-to-date knowledge regarding CJ-JT work globally with a focus on Global South.
We recognize that this work will always be incomplete, and that there are many more organisations that are not in this list as well as many significant individuals who have been doing this work for a very long time that we have not included. We are also aware of other mappings and are in a process to complement and combine related sources and mappings.
The Compendium is undergoing Phase 1 of a review process.
Phase 2 of the review process is to discuss with the field how we can better represent Indigenous Peoples, communities and tribes and bring in the campaigns and movements that are represented in other mappings (such as the Environmental Justice Atlas), particularly those led by Indigenous Peoples and individuals who are leading resistance. We welcome any thoughts and feedback you might have on how best to do this.
The Compendium is split into the following sections which you can navigate via the tabs in this spreadsheet:
CJ-JT Bibliography Campaigns and NGOs Funders and Regranters Toolkits for Funders
Initiatives listed in Campaigns and NGOs and Funders and Regranters are organised by 5 Regions: Global, Africa, Asia/Pacific, Latin America & The Caribbean and Global North Allies, these are further identifiable by indiviudal countries. You can further navigate these tabs via the CTRL F function on your keyboard to search for key words, organisation titles and type or key CJ-JT themes.
The key themes of work you will find listed under the Current focus/area coloum. Climate Justice is often an umbrella term and is contiunally expanding, we are defining this work as anything with an intersectional approach and a focus on the people on the front lines of injustice.
Broad themes may include:
Labour Justice, Justice for Indigenous Peoples, Environmental Justice, Racial Justice, Justice for Peoples with Disability, Economic Justice, Health Justice, Land Justice, Intergenerational Justice, Gender Justice
Further examples of key themes include but are not limited to:
Human rights, Indigenous peoples rights, Disability rights and inclusion, Gender equality, Young people, Intergenerational equity, Territorial rights, Land management, Food sovereignty, Agroecology, Extractivism, Migration, Disaster response and preparation, Movement building, Awareness raising, etc.
HOW WE COMPILED THE COMPENDIUM
The Compendium is built from desktop-based research with the assistance of expert guidance. This involved current knowledge of the field such as which global organisations with large international and grassroots allies could provide a good starting point for filling out the geographical/place-based mapping.
We recognise that most of the materials we have accessed are in English and it is an important limitation to our work. We hope that the review process will help identify Non-English resources for us to add.
The main sources used to gather initiatives and action-based organisations include: participating organisations in the Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice, signatories of the Peoples’ Summit: Climate Rights and Human Survival, members of the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature and 350.org allies. Descriptions/notes have been filled out by drawing on the publicly available information and the language which organisations use to describe their own focus area and operations.
COMPENDIUM SECTIONS
Climate Justice - Just Transition bibliography
This section gathers the main publications related to CJ and JT, including:
Reports Policy papers Principles and manifestos Podcasts/videos/audios Interactive mapping
Briefings Articles Toolkits Resource hubs and portals Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)/online courses
Resources can be looked through by format, author (organisation), funding/commissioning organisation, publication year, as well as key themes addressed and geographical location. Most entries are in English, with reference to available versions in other languages.
Campaigns and NGOs
The purpose of this mapping is to make visible the considerable number of existing initiatives, projects, networks, social movements, community groups, CSOs, NGOs and campaigns on climate justice and just transition, highlighting wherever possible work led by women, people of colour, youth, historically marginalised groups, and those with disabilities based in the Global South.
Initiatives are sorted based on geographic range (at national, regional or global level) and will be searchable by organisation type or through key areas of focus.
Approximate lines are as follows: (Please note these lines are subject to change as more organisations are added)
Global lines 4-102 Africa lines 104-252 Asia/Pacific lines 254-475 Latin America and The Caribbean lines 477-656 Global North Allies lines 658-715 Eastern Europe lines 717-719
