The global climate crisis is an immediate threat, causing inequitable health impacts across different populations. Climate justice connects the causes and effects of climate change to structural injustices in society. Nurses and community-based organizations (CBOs) partner in promoting justice and health equity. The purpose of this article is to describe how nurses and their CBO partners envision, perceive, and experience climate justice in the communities they serve. Participants were recruited via a screening survey sent to nursing and public health organizations in the United States. This descriptive mixed-methods study utilized participatory photo mapping (i.e., combined participatory photography, community mapping, and interviews) to capture participants' understanding and experiences of climate justice. Recruitment methods identified eight partnerships across six states. Participants depicted how climate injustice is reinforced by colonial severance from Nature. Participants noted that state violence and corporate climate pollution degraded the public's health. Climate justice was described as a long struggle to regain spiritual relationships within Nature, fostering belonging, abundance, and protected communities of care. Planetary health and well-being were central to participants' experiences with climate justice. Future research could explore barriers and facilitators to addressing climate injustice and promoting climate justice in diverse settings.
全球气候危机是一个紧迫的威胁，对不同人群造成了不公平的健康影响。气候正义将气候变化的因果关系与社会结构中的不公正联系起来。护士与社区组织（CBO）携手合作，促进正义和健康公平。本文旨在描述护士及其CBO合作伙伴如何在他们所服务的社区中构想、感知和体验气候正义。通过向美国的护理和公共卫生组织发送筛选调查问卷来招募参与者。这项描述性混合方法研究利用参与式照片绘图（即结合参与式摄影、社区绘图和访谈）来捕捉参与者对气候正义的理解和体验。招募方法确定了六个州的八个合作伙伴关系。参与者描述了与自然的殖民割裂是如何强化气候不公正的。参与者指出，国家暴力和企业气候污染损害了公众健康。气候正义被描述为一场漫长的斗争，旨在恢复与自然的精神联系，促进归属感、富足以及受保护的关爱社区。地球健康和福祉是参与者气候正义体验的核心。未来的研究可以探索在不同环境中解决气候不公正和促进气候正义的障碍与促进因素。
