The effects and impacts of climate change are being felt globally, however, the burdens of these impacts are not being felt equitably across communities of people. Similarly, how climate solutions impact people and communities matters to social justice and equality. Climate justice and just transition perspectives and policies begin by recognizing that key groups are affected by climate change differently, and that climate solutions require a greater understanding of these differences. Just transition is a framework for action used to ensure that the transition towards a sustainable, carbon-neutral economy happens in a fair way with respect to people’s social and economic opportunities, and, specifically, in a way that does not exacerbate existing social inequalities. This special collection showcases current research on climate justice and just transition, with respect to strategies, policy assessments, frameworks, national case studies, and identifying and managing social justice outcomes and vulnerabilities.
