Climate Justice
Climate justice is a movement and framework that recognizes that the effects of climate change are not distributed equally, and that those who have contributed the least to the crisis often suffer the most. It emphasizes the ethical, social, and political dimensions of climate change, highlighting how marginalized communities—particularly in the Global South, Indigenous populations, low-income groups, and historically disadvantaged communities—bear a disproportionate burden of environmental destruction, extreme weather events, and resource depletion.

Democracy
Democracy (from Ancient Greek: δημοκρατία, romanized: dēmokratía, dēmos ‘people’ and kratos ‘rule’) is a system of government in which state power is vested in the people or the general population of a state. Under a minimalist definition of democracy, rulers are elected through competitive elections while more expansive definitions link democracy to guarantees of civil liberties and human rights in addition to competitive elections.

Disinformation
Disinformation is misleading content deliberately spread to deceive people, or to secure economic or political gain and which may cause public harm. Disinformation is an orchestrated adversarial activity in which actors employ strategic deceptions and media manipulation tactics to advance political, military, or commercial goals. Disinformation is implemented through attacks that “weaponize multiple rhetorical strategies and forms of knowing—including not only falsehoods but also truths, half-truths, and value judgements—to exploit and amplify culture wars and other identity-driven controversies.”

Greenwashing
Greenwashing is where a company uses labelling, marketing and public messaging to try to appear to be environmentally sustainable and green – greener than it really is. It’s also a technique used by certain companies to distract consumers from the fact that their business model and activities actually do a lot of environmental harm.
