Climate justice and migration. Educating for hospitality

The urgent need for climate literacy linked to education for sustainable development im-plies to also account the influence of climate change in terms of its impacts on poverty, de-veloping ethical thought process and associated actions, promoting human sensibility to-wards vulnerabilities and widely develop caring skills within the population. The climate crisis is aggravating the social inequality gap and exacerbating poverty spirals, raising questions of distributive and intergenerational justice: the choice to migrate can be interpreted as an adaptation strategy, trying to reduce the gap between one's own life opportunities and those of others. Climate justice is to denounce the injustices that are being generated by climate change; to recognise the existence of a universal/cosmopolitan right; to extend care beyond the face-to-face, in the need for reciprocal protection of all humanity; to educate in the solicitude of hospitality. The essay critically reconsiders Paul Ricoeur's emblematic con-tribution to the notions of just institutions and hospitality.
