Abstract
  • This paper aims to address the intertwined challenges of rising inequality and the growing impacts of climate change in cities. As urban areas experience increasingly severe climate-related events, vulnerable populations are disproportionately affected due to inadequate housing, healthcare and infrastructure. This paper explores how existing political and infrastructural barriers often prevent collaboration between public authorities and community-based groups, hindering efforts to reduce urban inequalities. It highlights the importance of integrating climate policies with the “right to the city” agenda, promoting democratic, community-driven approaches that both tackle social inequality and prevent ecological breakdown. By fostering equitable and inclusive urban climate action, this paper seeks to empower cities to build resilience and create just, sustainable futures for all their residents.
