Abstract

This paper investigates the importance of considering climate justice in developing climate-neutral strategies at the city level. It uses data from the European Mission on 100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030 and principal component analysis to create an index of climate justice awareness. The analysis reveals a positive correlation between cities' climate engagement and their climate justice awareness. Geographical location and governance structures significantly influence climate action's justice considerations. Governmental support for capacity building and financial advisory services positively correlate with justice awareness, while perceptions of favorable geo-climatic conditions show a negative correlation.
