The discourse on climate justice has spread across the fields of law and politics in recent years. State representatives, social movements, and political theory scholars have invoked the term to highlight how the climate emergency has altered demands traditionally made in the name of justice. In these contexts, it is evident that claims made by different actors are often contradictory. Given the methodological impossibility of a single approach to understanding the term, this course aims to discuss the concept of climate justice in three dimensions: international, sociological, and normative. What are the main points of conflict among these three dimensions? What can we add to the general theory of justice based on the claims of social movements and international climate obligations?
