There are significant differences in who has contributed to climate change and in what ways. There are also significant differences in who at the individual, institutional, and national levels is affected by the consequences of climate change and how. This has given rise to new debates on questions of responsibility and inequality. The consequences of climate change are closely linked to risks to human health. Climate change can even be described as "greatest global health threat of the twenty-first century" (Grosskopf et al. 2024). Health risks can be categorized as either direct or indirect (Augustin et al. 2023), and a distinction can be made between physical and psychological consequences. These include stress and anxiety, threats to food security, the health consequences of migration, and, overall, the health risks posed by changing living conditions. The talk will trace the debates on the link between climate change and health. Particular attention will be paid to the question of the extent to which inequalities are taken into account. With regard to the discourse, a matrix of the various dimensions of inequalities will be presented. The talk will thus address the following questions: To what extent are the inequalities of health risks posed by climate change taken into account in the debates on climate change? To what extent are different dimensions of inequalities taken into account, e.g. inequalities due to different economic conditions, gender, age, and geographic location? Which inequalities are underrepresented in the discourse and can be strengthened for future discourses?
