The number of cases of heat stroke rose across the nation and stakeholders issued warnings to prevent health problems and deaths from the heat. The effect was felt more in those states that usually have higher temperatures and dry weathers, such as Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Normally, government and non-government stakeholders target interventions towards marginalized populations and economically weaker sections (a category of people in India who have an annual family income of less than 800,000 rupees) to reduce the health impact of heat. In 2024, a group of individuals including Jain monks were affected by the heatwaves in the western states of India.Jainism is one of the world’s oldest religions, more than 2,500 years old, with a small following mainly in India. The Jain monks live a spartan life surviving on basic necessities, and keep travelling from village to village throughout their lives. They follow certain religious restrictions that make them vulnerable to heat-related illnesses. Summer is the time when the monks move across the states on foot to reach a specific place where they will spend the next four months of monsoon. They start walking barefoot in the early morning, aiming to reach a nearby resting place by midday. They plan their travel to reach a pre-decided religious site by March before the peak summer starts. But at times it is difficult if the journey is to another state where they have to travel hundreds of kilometres on foot. Jain monks do not use vehicles, footwear, electricity or electronic gadgets. Efforts are made to avoid wheelchairs unless they are extremely weak. The monks collect food from different homes following specific preconditions, including no mobile phone use. These conditions lead to visiting higher numbers of homes for food and water. During the summer, when the need for water increases, monks must go out barefoot to collect water more often than usual.","PeriodicalId":18974,"journal":{"name":"Nature Climate Change","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":30.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142840884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While we welcome the attention of the authors and the journal to climate justice, we find that Zimm et al. replicate a number of forms and practices of injustice and fail to recognize and include the history and breadth of environmental and climate justice scholarship. In other words, the paradox of the paper by Zimm et al. is that it unwittingly contributes to the very problem it wants to address.Zimm et al. suggest that the “absence of a broad shared understanding of justice” stems from a lack of clarity and consistency, requiring cross-disciplinary translation and a novel framework. In reality, existing scholarship on environmental justice2 and climate justice3 has examined the intersection of climate change and social inequality for many decades. This literature emerged from both social and scholarly movements producing a wealth of cross-disciplinary frameworks, principles and concepts that are clear and consistent. By failing to engage with the existing work on climate justice, Zimm et al. miss important historical and contemporary insights on the intersecting crises of climate change and social injustice, and how to study it.","PeriodicalId":18974,"journal":{"name":"Nature Climate Change","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":30.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
