Climate justice is a notion that gradually takes center stage in discussions about climate change. Its main use, so far, has been to highlight the striking disproportionality between responsibility for climate change and the impact of the latter: those that are less responsible are those who suffer the most adverse effects of climate change. This special issue will invite articles from various disciplines of the social sciences and strands of social theory to investigate how far the notion has developed since its first deployment, the critical uses it has been put into as well as whether its analytical scope can be extended even further. The articles can be more empirically orientated, focusing on concrete case studies, or more theoretical in their approach, focusing mainly on concept-analysis. Either way, the special issue to be produced aims to offer a round up exploration of climate justice and an assessment of its value as an analytical category, which exposes crucial facets of climate change and highlights its non-negligible social and political dimension.
