Climate justice: framing a new discourse in Brazil

Justice through polycentricity? A critical examination of climate justice framings in Pakistani climate policymaking

“…Finally, this study has made several novel theoretical and international contributions, through: (i) playing a role in filling the research gaps on climate justice at the national scale (Milanez and Fonseca, 2012); (ii) providing evidence for the theory that different definitions and framings of climate justice can exist at national levels (Popke et al, 2016); (iii) providing empirical evidence that, from a justice perspective, non-state actors within a polycentric climate governance regime are playing a role in widening the range of issues given attention (Jordan et al, 2015); (iv) calling attention to key climate justice issues in Pakistan which have so far only been studied to a limited degree; and (v)…”

“…Within the state-driven, intergovernmental political domain, the framing of justice in relation to the environment focuses on international issues, with inequities highlighted predominantly between countries (Milanez and Fonseca, 2012). A review article by Okereke (2010) claims that climate justice concerns in the context of international negotiations and governance processes are primarily rooted in: (i) differences in countries' GHG emissions and contribution to climate change; (ii) differences in countries' vulnerability to climate change; and (iii) differences in countries' ability to bear the costs of mitigating or adapting to climate change.…”

“…In addition, limited studies exist explicitly investigating the role of climate justice within polycentric governance (Routledge et al, 2018), such as implications for power dynamics between governance actors. In particular, the debate on climate justice and polycentric governance has taken place primarily at the international level (Milanez and Fonseca, 2012), with very limited scholarship investigating its subnational justice implications (Barrett, 2013).…”

Ética climática, (in)justiças e limitações do Pagamento por Serviços Ambientais no Brasil

“…O aumento vertiginoso na concentração de gases de efeito estufa (GEE) na atmosfera, como o dióxido de carbono (CO₂), resulta em maior retenção do calor e, como consequência, alteração das temperaturas globais e dos padrões de circulação atmosférica. Os efeitos decorrentes de tais mudanças, como extremos de temperatura e modificações em períodos de estiagem e precipitação, trazem impactos aos sistemas socioecológicos de várias formas e intensidades (MILANEZ;FONSECA, 2012).…”

“…Em comunidades e regiões que apresentam vulnerabilidades, como populações de baixa renda, pequenos agricultores e segmentos raciais discriminados, as implicações das mudanças no clima somam-se a aspectos, como a insegurança alimentar e acesso limitado à saúde, que as tornam mais intensas (IPCC, 2018). Nesse contexto, o termo justiça climática é mobilizado por referir-se às diferenças nos níveis de exposição a tais impactos e clama por políticas e iniciativas, guiadas pela ética dos direitos humanos, que reduzam a vulnerabilidade desses grupos (MILANEZ;FONSECA, 2012).…”
