| Title | Climate Justice: Principles of Burden-Sharing with an Integrationist Account |
| Summary | Impacts of climate change are ever more present, and so are reports demanding immediate action. However, lack of a joint framework curbs the scope and speed of international action to this pressing issue and thereby shows that more research is due. Drawing on theories of distributive justice, this thesis aims to contribute to determining who owes what in climate justice by bringing together three principles of burden-sharing into a hybrid account. It discusses the polluters pay, the beneficiaries pay, and the ability to pay principles in a sequential order and a sufficientarian threshold to argue that these ostensibly rival principles can point to various liable agents. By suggesting that these principles can coexist within the same theory, this thesis aims to provide a just framework for climate action. |
