Human Sense

This chapter situates the INTERSECTION programme of research within wider international debates regarding the relationship between consumption and climate change. It explores how this relationship is addressed in arguments for environmental justice and sustainable development, and how it is reflected in international policy-making. This discussion highlights how climate change is typically cast as both an international and intergenerational injustice, or the convergence of a ‘global storm’ and an ‘intergenerational storm’. This chapter also situates the original contribution of the book within recent social science scholarship that explores how people live with a changing climate, advocating a ‘human sense’ of climate and social change, and outlines the main themes of the subsequent empirical chapters.

Environmental justice requires that the environmental rights and obligations are allocated and undertaken fairly and reasonably in response to the climate change, in order to realize the coexistence and sustainable development of all human beings. This study analyzed the phenomenon of environmental injustice appearing during the construction of REDD+ mechanics and proposed the proper path that leads to REDD+ mechanism improvement which is based on the perspective of environmental justice.

The Eu

This chapter examines the European Union's external environmental policy, with particular emphasis on the challenge faced by the EU in exercising leadership in global environmental governance and in the development of the climate change regime. It first considers the international dimension of the EU environmental policy as well as the issue of sustainable development before discussing the EU's efforts to lead the negotiation of an international climate regime up until the 2015 Paris conference. It then explores how the different energy interests of the member states have been accommodated in order to sustain European credibility. It also looks at the question of climate and energy security in the EU and concludes with an assessment of the factors that determine the success or failure of the EU in climate diplomacy, including those that relate to coordination and competence problems peculiar to the EU as a climate negotiator.

The Past

Concepts of environmental justice and environmental sustainability have attracted steadily increasing interest amongst political theorists and political scientists in the past few decades. The explosion of interest in normative and policy dimensions of global climate change since the negotiation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) of 1992 have only accelerated this interest. Nevertheless, there is continuing disagreement in the literature concerning the meaning of sustainable development, the connection between environmental sustainability and norms of global and intergenerational justice, weak vs strong sustainability, and the extent to which normative theory can contribute to the implementation of policies of sustainable development. This chapter explores the conceptual development of environmental sustainability, and aims to show how normative theory can enrich the discussion of sustainable development in theory and in practice.

Incremental Increase

Conflicts over natural resources are already among the greatest challenges of the century. The incremental increase of natural disasters due to environmental injustice is intensifying the uncertainty of life. Currently, more people are being forced to leave their homes as a form of adaptation and survival because of climate change. The global extraction of resources, generally located in territories of indigenous and impoverished populations, provokes their eviction and exacerbates marginalization. A person who owns land and resources may find reasonable to defend the current institution of property right as it is. However, the current system of property rights promotes competition and exclusion for the access to natural resources. This essay is a reflection on why Environmental Justice’s call against racism, is also a call to reconsider the current patterns of consumption, the perception of property rights, and progress. Sustainable Development cannot be achieved if is meant to be only for some.
