Most Affected People and Areas
Most Affected People and Areas, also known by its acronym MAPA,[1] is a term[2] that represents groups and territories disproportionately affected by climate change, such as women, indigenous communities, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ people, young, older and poorer people and the global south.[3] The term and concept is interconnected with intersectionality.[4] These communities bear the brunt of carbon emissions and climate change.[5][6] In particular, with the rise of grassroots movements that had the goal of climate justice - such as Fridays for Future, Ende Gelände or Extinction Rebellion - the connection of these groups in the context of climate justice became more important.[7] The term is usually preferred by climate change activists to older concepts such as global south.[2][8]
