Towards Transformative Climate Justice: Key Challenges and Future Directions for Research
Climate Justice means that the causes and effects of climate change, and efforts to tackle them raise ethical, equity and rights issues. Academia, civil society, social movements, some governments, cities and some businesses have come to accept this, but delivery mechanisms are still weak. In this Working Paper by the
Institute of Development Studies, Peter Newell, Shilpi Srivastava
et al show, moreover, that definitions of
climate justice are contested. To secure the best outcomes, while building means to address deeper structural concerns, they propose
transformative climate justice as a concept to focus attention on the need to alter power relations and decision processes that give rise to climate injustices.
