Abstract

Abstract Since the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, there has been a surging network of climate youth movement (CYM) calling for an end to environmental injustice. In South Africa, while a handful have taken on the reins of climate activism, many remain nonchalant or the few outspoken ones face a greater hurdle of alienation from decision-making processes. To this end, the article draws from existing literature and surveys how young South Africans could mobilize themselves into CYM in order to reshape, reclaim and reconstruct their future in a changing environment.

生态激进主义：南非的青年与气候正义

摘要自1992年里约地球峰会以来，气候青年运动（CYM）网络激增，呼吁结束环境不公正现象。在南非，尽管少数人已经掌握了气候行动主义的控制权，但许多人仍然漠不关心，或者少数直言不讳的人面临着与决策过程脱节的更大障碍。为此，本文借鉴了现有文献，调查了南非年轻人如何动员自己加入青年青年党，以便在不断变化的环境中重塑、回收和重建他们的未来。

期刊介绍： The Environmental Claims Journal is a quarterly journal that focuses on the many types of claims and liabilities that result from environmental exposures. The ECJ considers environmental claims under older business insurance policies, coverage and claims under more recent environmental insurance policies, as well as toxic tort claims. Exposures and claims from all environmental media are considered: air, drinking water, groundwater, soil, chemicals in commerce and naturally occurring chemicals. The journal also considers the laws, regulations, and case law that form the basis for claims. The journal would be of interest to environmental and insurance attorneys, insurance professionals, claims professionals, and environmental consultants.
