L’urgente necessità di alfabetizzazione climatica, negli sforzi legati all’educazione allo sviluppo sostenibile, implica approfondire le innumerevoli conoscenze sul clima in termini di impatti in povertà, sviluppare orientamenti etici di pensiero e di azione, promuovere sensibilità umana verso le vulnerabilità e moltiplicare le competenze di cura. La crisi climatica sta aggravando la forbice delle disuguaglianze sociali e inasprendo spirali di povertà, ponendo questioni di giustizia distributiva e intergenerazionale: anche scegliere di migrare è interpretabile come una strategia di adattamento, provando a ridurre il divario tra le proprie opportunità di vita e quelle di altre persone. Giustizia climatica è denunciare le ingiustizie che si stanno generando con il cambiamento climatico; riconoscere al ‘ciascuno’ il proprio diritto cosmopolita; estendere la cura al di là del faccia a faccia, nella necessità di protezione reciproca dell’intera umanità; educare alla sollecitudine dell’ospitalità. Il saggio riconsidera criticamente l'apporto emblematico di Paul Ricoeur riguardo alle nozioni di istituzioni giuste e di ospitalità.

Abstract
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.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
