Özet
Climate justice is not a monolithic concept but one shaped by geography, biophysical risks and structural inequalities. Rather than a singular struggle, it encompasses multiple, intersecting forms of injustice - both group-based (rooted in class, nation, gender, race and intergenerational inequality) and threat-based (arising from phenomena such as sea-level rise, glacial retreat, droughts and floods). This research note proposes a three-layered analytical framework to organise these diverse climate injustices. It argues that climate injustices emerge at the intersection of three dimensions: (1) biophysical threats such as sea-level rise, glacial retreat, heatwaves, droughts and flooding; (2) local political economies and patterns of social vulnerability; and (3) historical and institutional contexts. To illustrate how similar hazards generate distinct moral and political claims, the research note introduces a non-exclusive taxonomy informed by various cases from the Majority World.
