Climate justice is a rapidly growing field of critical enquiry which concentrates on the social dimensions of climate change, including the unequal nature of its physical, socio-economic and political impacts and humanity’s responses to them. From the stark warnings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to the direct action protests of Extinction Rebellion, there is growing interest in the study of the global inequalities of climate change.
Routledge Studies in Climate Justice will comprise monographs and edited collections addressing cutting-edge questions in the growing field of climate justice. Contributions will be sought on a range of topics, including climate justice and international development, intersectionality and climate inequality, climate governance and policy, gender and climate change, climate migration and displacement, health and well-being, climate justice activism, pedagogy and participation, and urban climate justice.
Series Editor: Tahseen Jafry is Professor of Climate Justice and Director of The Centre for Climate Justice, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK.
