Abstract

Climate justice is increasingly prominent in climate change communication and advocacy but little is known about public understanding of the concept or how widely it resonates with different groups. In our global survey of 5,627 adults in 11 countries spanning the global north and south, most participants (66.2%) had never heard of climate justice. Nonetheless, endorsement of climate justice beliefs was widespread (for example, acknowledging the disproportionate impact of climate change on poor people and the underpinning roles of capitalism and colonialism in the climate crisis). Climate justice beliefs were also associated with various indices of climate action and policy support. These associations tended to be stronger in countries with high GHG emissions and where social inequality is also more politically salient. The results highlight the value of climate justice as a motive for climate action across diverse geographical contexts. Little is known about public understanding of climate justice, despite its increasing prominence in climate change communication. Here a global survey reveals that, although awareness of climate justice is low, beliefs in climate justice are widely supported across countries.

与世界各地气候行动和政策支持有关的气候正义理念
气候公正在气候变化传播和宣传中的地位日益突出,但公众对这一概念的理解或其在不同群体中的广泛共鸣却知之甚少。在我们对全球南北11个国家的5627名成年人进行的全球调查中,大多数参与者(66.2%)从未听说过气候正义。然而,对气候正义信念的认可却很普遍(例如,承认气候变化对穷人的影响过大,以及资本主义和殖民主义在气候危机中的基础性作用)。气候正义信念还与气候行动和政策支持的各种指数相关联。在温室气体排放量高、社会不平等在政治上更为突出的国家,这些关联往往更为紧密。研究结果凸显了气候正义作为不同地域气候行动动机的价值。
