Climate justice and policy analysis: still a reserved relationship

Abstract

Climate justice issues have been propelled onto political agendas by the recent wave of climate activism, which emphasizes the need for more equitable development. Although a substantial body of research identifies injustices related to climate change, policy research has yet to adequately address this topic. This contribution aims to bridge this gap by advocating for a stronger connection between climate justice and policy analysis. It reviews existing literature, highlighting key focal points in the research, and identifies avenues for future study. The review underscores the need for a more thorough examination of the intersection between policy measures and climate justice.
