This research addresses the inequitable causes and consequences of climate change for subsistence farmers in the developing world. These inequities exist as developing nations and impoverished agricultural communities contribute the least to global climate change yet are facing the most severe consequences. Development agencies play an important role in helping affected communities address the consequences of climate change, yet the interventions often do not consider the specific needs of those they seek to help. Furthermore, some interventions and approaches can exacerbate climate change-related inequities by operating through ideological principles that miscalculate or do not address the sources of inequity. To address these issues, this research focuses on ways to promote justice and enhance community participation in development agency interventions.
