Climate Change and Global Justice: New Problem, Old Paradigm?In this article, I examine matters concerning justice and climate change in light of current work in global justice. I briefly discuss some of the most important contemporary work by political philosophers and theorist on global justice and relate it to various considerations regarding justice and climate change. After briefly surveying the international treaty context, I critically discuss several issues, including climate change and human rights, responsibility for historical emissions and the polluter-pays principle, the ability to pay principle, grandfathering entitlements to emit greenhouse gasses, equal per capita emissions entitlements, the right to sustainable development, and responsibility for financing adaptation to climate change. This set of issues does not exhaust the list of considerations of global justice and climate change, but it includes some of the most important of those considerations.

Many agents have failed to comply with their responsibilities to take the action needed to avoid dangerous anthropogenic climate change. This pervasive noncompliance raises two questions of nonideal political theory. First, it raises the question of what agents should do when others do not discharge their climate responsibilities. (the Responsibility Question) In this paper I put forward four principles that we need to employ to answer the Responsibility Question (Sections II-V). I then illustrate my account, by outlining four kinds of action that should be undertaken (Section VI). Pervasive noncompliance also raises a second question: Given the lack of progress in combating climate change, should existing governance structures be maintained or changed (and if they should be changed, in what ways)? (the Governance Question). The paper briefly outlines a methodology for addressing this question and outlines what a nonideal response to the existing institutional structures would be (Section VII). It does so with reference to the Paris Agreement, and in particular the creation of a "global stocktake" (Article 14, Paris Agreement) and the "facilitative dialogue" (paragraph 20 of the ‘Adoption of the Paris Agreement’). The aim, then, is to set out an account of a nonideal theory of climate justice.

Climate change is a serious global issue, as it affects all components of the Earth, including humanity. This book deals with the obvious difficulties at the time of guaranteeing the existence of climate justice, given the heterogeneity of the availability of resources, and the prioritisation of the interests of certain countries regarding those of others.
Climate change presents a global problem that requires collective action. Distributing obligations in relation to this has proven problematic, especially in light of the divide between wealthy and developed states compared to poor and developing states. The norm of sustainability requires states to continue to protect and promote sustainable actions. This comes into direct conflict with the right to develop when considering how to mitigate climate change. The right to develop requires the use of limited resources now, whereas the norm of sustainability argues that these resources must be protected for both environmental protection and intergenerational justice. Intragenerational justice requires us to consider whether actions that protect the future may be causing greater injustice within the present generation. In this thesis, I discuss the important potential distribution principles, with considerations of historic responsibility, uncertainty, and the ability to pay principles. I ...

Discourses of Climate Justice: The Unsaid in the Noble Cause2022 •
One of the persistent claims among the diverse debates and struggles in climate change is climate justice. Although climate change is impacting the globe wholly, it does not impact all nations and groups equally. Not only that, but also the very contribution to the formation, increase, and continuity of greenhouse gases differs among countries, as not all states contribute equally to the global emissions of greenhouse gases. Even within states, claims of climate justice are raised by MAPA (Most Affected Peoples and Areas)1 as climate changes hit disproportionately across the unequal lines of income, social status, gender, and urbanity. An extra demand was introduced to the climate justice sophisticated dilemmas: the temporal/climate justice or intergenerational justice that considers the demands of youth and the fate of future generations. However, through these entangled lines of debates, the discourse of climate justice tends more and more to forget its main mission. It is to understand the needs of underdeveloped counties to develop and industrialise, and this requires slower paces for curbing climate changes unlike the developed world. Yet, the current global discourse on climate justice tends to ignore this demand and press more for a concerted global action using new and challenging claims for climate justice.

Climate Justice and Collective Action2021 •
This book develops a theory of climate cooperation designed for concerted action, which emphasises the role and function of collectives in achieving shared climate goals. In debates on climate change action, research focuses on three major goals: on mitigation, on adaptation and on transformation. Even though these goals are accepted, concerted action is still difficult to realize. Climate Justice and Collective Action provides an analysis of why this is the case and develops a theory of climate cooperation designed to overcome the existing roadblocks. Angela Kallhoff starts with a thorough analysis of failures of collective action in the context of climate change action. Taking inspiration from theories of water cooperation, she then establishes a theory of joint action that reframes climate goals as shared goals and highlights the importance of adhering to principles of fairness. This also includes an exploration of the normative claims working in the background of climate cooperation. Finally, Kallhoff puts forward proposals for a fair allocation of duties to cooperate with respect to climate goals. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate action, climate justice, environmental sociology and environmental philosophy and ethics more broadly.

Climate Justice: If needed at all?2013 •
The research finds out the effects of the concept “Climate Justice” which emerged to address the issues and concerns that arise from the intersection of climate change with race, poverty and pre-existing environmental risks. The analysis and discussions surrounds the climate negotiations, which needs an ethical base leading to emergence of climate justice. After determining the factors of vulnerability this research shows that the actual victims of climate change are the world’s poorest. It continues to discover the question about the necessity of climate justice. We will try to find the matter of hope which is lightening slowly like a “Firefly” showing how climate justice can actually prove to be an effective movement.
