We greatly appreciate Coolsaet et al.’s Correspondence1, which gives us the opportunity to clarify and emphasize the scope and intended use of our framework.
With respect to scope, we are in agreement with our colleagues that various forms of justice (that is, distributional, procedural and so on) have been discussed in different disciplines. We thus believe, as stated in our paper, that the novelty of our contribution lies not predominantly “in the philosophical structure, but in the cross-disciplinary translation [of philosophical concepts], the clarity of exposition and ease of application”2. For instance, by indicating how the various forms of justice are independent, we hope to facilitate researchers finding and specifying the precise forms of justice that are most relevant to their own projects.

In a recent Perspective1, Zimm et al. argued that “there is no consistent approach to comprehensively incorporate and examine justice considerations” in climate research. While we welcome the attention of the authors and the journal to climate justice, we find that Zimm et al. replicate a number of forms and practices of injustice and fail to recognize and include the history and breadth of environmental and climate justice scholarship. In other words, the paradox of the paper by Zimm et al. is that it unwittingly contributes to the very problem it wants to address.
Zimm et al. suggest that the “absence of a broad shared understanding of justice” stems from a lack of clarity and consistency, requiring cross-disciplinary translation and a novel framework. In reality, existing scholarship on environmental justice2 and climate justice3 has examined the intersection of climate change and social inequality for many decades. This literature emerged from both social and scholarly movements producing a wealth of cross-disciplinary frameworks, principles and concepts that are clear and consistent. By failing to engage with the existing work on climate justice, Zimm et al. miss important historical and contemporary insights on the intersecting crises of climate change and social injustice, and how to study it.

A carbon tax will not curb current emissions in sub-Saharan Africa and is unlikely to prevent future carbon lock-in effects. Meanwhile, a carbon tax could hit the poor in this region, thus the international community should be careful in pushing sub-Saharan Africa towards carbon taxation.

The year 2024 has once again been characterized by a large number of devastating climate-related hazards. While many of these events were likely to have been exacerbated by climate change, they also provide drastic reminders of the degree to which humans can influence whether a meteorological extreme develops into a disaster.

Tipping points have gained substantial traction in climate change discourses. Here we critique the ‘tipping point’ framing for oversimplifying the diverse dynamics of complex natural and human systems and for conveying urgency without fostering a meaningful basis for climate action. Multiple social scientific frameworks suggest that the deep uncertainty and perceived abstractness of climate tipping points render them ineffective for triggering action and setting governance goals. The framing also promotes confusion between temperature-based policy benchmarks and properties of the climate system. In both natural and human systems, we advocate for clearer, more specific language to describe the phenomena labelled as tipping points and for critical evaluation of whether, how and why different framings can support scientific understanding and climate risk management. The tipping points framing is widely used in climate discussions but receives mixed feedback. This Perspective critiques it for oversimplifying the complexities of natural and social systems and failing to drive effective action, and offers recommendations for future improvements.
