Climate justice : a multi-scalar analysis

Abstract

The thesis first explores, summarises and evaluates the diffuse climate justice literature in Chapter 2. The review reveals climate justice as a concern for various disciplines, including Economics, Political Science, International Relations (IR), Law, Geography; and sub- disciplines/fields such as political philosophy, political ecology, environmental law, ethics and governance research. The review documents the main units of analysis of each approach, and their conceptual and methodological strengths and weaknesses. Finally, the review concludes with the identification of several broad limitations and proposes solutions.
