Description
Climate justice has emerged as a central analytical framework for understanding how societies negotiate the distribution of climate burdens and benefits under conditions of deepening environmental risk. As a first-year PhD project, this study examines how principles of fairness, participation, and inclusivity shape the prospects for sustainable peace and security in climate-vulnerable states, with a focus on Bangladesh. Anchored in Nancy Fraser's Social Justice Theory (Fraser 2010), the research investigates how meaningful participation, self-expression, and equal influence over outcomes are ensured in negotiation processes within national and international environmental governance. The study employs a combination of Event Ethnography, Semi-structured Interviews and Document Analysis as methodology to trace how justice claims are articulated, contested, and institutionalised in the climate negotiations. By analysing these negotiation dynamics, the research aims to illuminate how justice-oriented governance practices can enhance institutional legitimacy and support more peaceful, resilient climate policy pathways for vulnerable countries.
