Filling the Infrastructure Gap

This advocacy resource outlines the vital link between climate justice and communication rights.

The position paper shows that the climate crisis is also a communication crisis, highlighting communication and information as an essential dimension of just and meaningful climate action.

It underlines that independent, community-led, grassroots, and Indigenous communication initiatives are part of the critical infrastructure that makes climate justice possible.

Through three case studies from WACC partners in Colombia, Nepal, and Nigeria, Filling the Infrastructure Gap demonstrates how communication functions as a necessary component of participation, accountability, trust-building, and community empowerment.

A final section with nine core principles offers a framework for climate justice advocacy and strategic intervention from the local to the global level.
