PRINT EDITION

Issue No. 1 (2019): A Climate of Change

£12.50

While there may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustices, there must never be a time when we fail to shed light on them, protest them, and open platforms for a diverse range of voices to be heard. The inaugural edition of the jfa, A Climate of Change, is dedicated to human rights issues at the intersections of climate change and the changing social and political climate around the world.

Divided into People, Politics, Environment, and Hope, we showcase the individual’s everyday fight for their own rights, shed light on experiences of those whose states have failed to protect them, and highlight the stories of those whose very right to life is being threatened by climate change.

*Print issues are shipped every Saturday. We ship worldwide. Shipping costs will be applied at checkout.

*The jfa’s mission is to make human rights discourse accessible to all. Funds received from print issue purchases go straight back into printing more copies and covering shipping costs.

ISSUE No. 1 (2019): A climate of change

The world is changing.

With the AfD becoming the second most popular party in Germany and the recent election of authoritarian nationalist Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, the far-right is continuously on the rise. A caravan of people from Central America, walking towards the hope for a better life, is deemed a national security threat by President Trump and met with the mobilisation of the US troops. The WWF Living Planet report and IPPC warn that the annihilation of wildlife is now an emergency that threatens civilisation and give us 12 years to stop climate change. At the same time, in a historic decision, India’s Supreme Court has finally ruled that gay sex is no longer a criminal offence. Progress has been made with a record number of women, including the first two Muslim representatives being elected in the recent US Midterm Elections. A novel lawsuit was filed by 21 young people who argue that the failure of government leaders to combat climate change violates their constitutional right to a clean environment.

This journal is dedicated to human rights issues at the intersections of climate change and the changing social, political and environmental climate around the world.
