Justice in funding adaptation under the international climate change regime
This book provides a theoretical analysis of the ethical foundations of the UNFCCC regime on adaptation funding, one that culminates in the definition of a framework of justice. The text features an interpretative analysis of the ethical contents of the UNFCCC funding architecture by applying the framework of justice proposed to different areas of empirical investigation.
The book: (i) examines advancing negotiations on adaptation funding; (ii) details fair negotiations processes; (iii) covers responsibility for climate impacts as the basis for raising adaptation funds; (iv) presents social vulnerability to climate impacts as the benchmark for allocating adaptation funds; and (v) presents ethical evaluation of the current and prospective adaptation funding regime.
The book offers scholars working on climate change, international relations, and environmental politics an analysis characterized by both theoretical soundness and empirical richness. The book intends to help planning and implementing international adaptation funding more effectively, and eventually to define more just funding policies and practices.
