The effects of climate change are global, but the impacts are not evenly distributed. Globally and within countries, climate change has unequal impacts on disadvantaged and marginalized groups. Climate justice focuses on how climate change impacts are different, unequal and disproportionate. In the context of the Global South, this condition is more extreme and is already threatening communities and defining their futures. Therefore, as an effort to address climate injustice with a focus on the Mexican context, this semester the studio explores the socio-cultural and ecopolitical dimensions of the climate crisis through the lenses of energy transition. By looking at the energy transition as a process that seeks to change the system of energy production and consumption from non-renewable and polluting sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on non-renewable resources. The studio explores how architecture and landscape architecture can contribute to the decarbonization.
