Removed section on geopolitical tensions

I've removed this recently added section because its connection to climate justice was not clear. Maybe it's relevant to Climate security but not here. The brief mention of Ukraine and inflation is Global North centric and news-y. EMsmile (talk) 22:32, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

++++

Geopolitical tensions and conflicts:

Geopolitical tensions can harm climate action, and can prevent just distribution of needed resources. Climate change can increase conflicts, creating a vicious cycle. Inflation, caused by the war in Ukraine and climate change, hurt vulnerable layers of populations, creating instability and disturbing climate action.^[1]^[2]
