Abstract

The transition towards low-carbon societies is creating winners and losers, raising new questions of justice. Around the world, litigation increasingly articulates these justice questions, challenging laws, projects and policies that aim to deliver climate change adaptation and/or mitigation. In this Perspective, we define and conceptualize the phenomenon of ‘just transition litigation’. This concept provides a new frame for identifying and understanding the diverse justice claims of those affected by climate action. We set out a research agenda to further investigate this phenomenon, with a view to enhancing societal acceptance and support for the transition. Transitioning to low-carbon societies will mean shifts in laws as well as systems, requiring conversations about social and economic justice associated with this shift. This Perspective examines how litigation can be used to understand and facilitate these claims of justice

公正过渡诉讼的概念化

向低碳社会的过渡正在产生赢家和输家，提出了新的正义问题。在世界范围内，诉讼越来越多地表达了这些正义问题，对旨在实现气候变化适应和/或减缓的法律、项目和政策提出了挑战。在本视角中，我们对 "公正过渡诉讼 "现象进行了定义和概念化。这一概念为识别和理解受气候行动影响者的各种正义诉求提供了新的框架。我们提出了进一步研究这一现象的研究议程，以期提高社会对转型的接受度和支持度。向低碳社会转型将意味着法律和制度的转变，需要就与这一转变相关的社会和经济正义进行对话。本视角探讨了如何利用诉讼来理解和促进这些正义诉求。
