Descripción
Sumario:The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) defines key concepts for understanding climate risk analysis, adaptation, resilient transformation, or vulnerability. The assessment also integrates distributive, procedural climate justice principles and recognition of local and indigenous knowledge. The scope of the proposed climate justice principles is analyzed from a normative and institutional perspective to identify the challenges involved in understanding climate policy making from a justice perspective. It is argued that when climate justice does not define principles with specific content and outline implementation mechanisms, it has no actual institutional or policy consequences. Some significant limitations are the absence of the actual tenets of justice beyond its enunciation, the lack of a retribution conception of justice, and a scope that does not consider the consequences of global justice. Therefore, it limits its impact on national obligations. Some general criteria for defining the content of common principles of justice are discussed.
