Critical climate justice

Abstract

This paper explores climate justice as a framework for understanding and redressing the unequal impacts of climate change across places, peoples, and scales. Emphasizing the differentiated responsibilities and burdens of the climate crisis, it argues that climate justice requires attention to both disproportionate harm and equitable solutions. The paper calls for a critical climate justice praxis grounded in solidarity and collective action, strengthened by intersectional and international feminist scholarship. Integrating feminist insights offers a more accountable, relational, and transformative approach to climate justice discourse and action.
