Abstract

The field of climate justice has been growing in relevance since its conception in 1997. This paper presents a comprehensive bibliometric and topic modelling analyses to examine the evolution and trajectory of the climate justice literature. We analyse 1,683 publications covering the period from 1997 to 2021, highlighting foundational works, influential authors, leading nations and institutions, and prevailing research topics within this field. We employ Latent Dirichlet Allocation to uncover latent research trends in the literature providing a crucial baseline for future scholarly endeavours and policy development in the realm of climate justice.

Our results show that the field of climate justice has grown exponentially from less than 5 papers annually between 1997 and 2005, to around 200 papers annually in recent years. This growth has seen a diversification of research themes with an increase in papers around the topics of health, vulnerability and adaptation, and policy and activism. There has been a consistent backdrop of publications around the topics of sustainable development and policy, and international relations and carbon emissions. Other prominent topics in the literature include education and food security, and human rights and Indigenous people. The field has moved from theoretical research to examining actual examples of climate injustices, with an increased diversification of topics.

Future research could usefully focus on exploring future generations and more-than-human entities; the integration of climate justice and climate activism with broader struggles for justice; re-thinking climate adaptation “success” and “effectiveness” through the lens of climate justice, and the ramifications of the Global Goal on Adaptation on climate justice led-approaches that are inclusive, build on human rights approaches, and extend the scale of adaptation analysis beyond the local. It is imperative to prioritise addressing the climate justice needs of those most affected by climate change, transcending national borders, generational gaps, cultural differences, and even the well-being of various species. Such a holistic approach will help inform and refine global climate policy and action.

气候正义的文献计量和主题分析:绘制趋势、声音和前进方向图
气候正义领域自 1997 年提出以来,其相关性不断增强。本文通过全面的文献计量学和主题建模分析,研究了气候正义文献的演变和发展轨迹。我们分析了 1997 年至 2021 年期间的 1683 篇出版物,重点介绍了该领域的奠基性著作、有影响力的作者、领先的国家和机构以及流行的研究课题。我们采用潜狄利克特分配法(Latent Dirichlet Allocation)揭示了文献中的潜在研究趋势,为气候正义领域未来的学术研究和政策制定提供了重要的基线。我们的研究结果表明,气候正义领域的论文数量呈指数增长,从 1997 年至 2005 年的每年不到 5 篇,增长到近年来的每年约 200 篇。在这一增长过程中,研究主题呈现多样化趋势,围绕健康、脆弱性与适应、政策与行动主义等主题的论文有所增加。围绕可持续发展与政策、国际关系与碳排放等主题发表的论文也在持续增加。文献中其他突出的主题包括教育和粮食安全,以及人权和土著人民。未来的研究可以重点探讨后代和超人类实体;将气候正义和气候行动主义与更广泛的正义斗争相结合;通过气候正义的视角重新思考气候适应的 "成功 "和 "有效性",以及全球适应目标对气候正义主导的方法的影响,这些方法具有包容性,建立在人权方法之上,并将适应分析的范围扩展到地方之外。当务之急是优先解决受气候变化影响最严重者的气候正义需求,超越国界、代沟、文化差异,甚至各种物种的福祉。这种综合方法将有助于为全球气候政策和行动提供信息并加以完善。

期刊介绍: Climate Risk Management publishes original scientific contributions, state-of-the-art reviews and reports of practical experience on the use of knowledge and information regarding the consequences of climate variability and climate change in decision and policy making on climate change responses from the near- to long-term. The concept of climate risk management refers to activities and methods that are used by individuals, organizations, and institutions to facilitate climate-resilient decision-making. Its objective is to promote sustainable development by maximizing the beneficial impacts of climate change responses and minimizing negative impacts across the full spectrum of geographies and sectors that are potentially affected by the changing climate.
