Climate change is unjust. Rich countries in the Global North have produced the most greenhouse gases since the beginning of industrialization and at the same time have a greater ability to adapt to the consequences of climate change. Poorer countries hardly contribute to global warming, but suffer particularly from its consequences. Under the title "Climate justice - but how?", Janpeter Schilling identifies those responsible and those affected by climate change and shows how more climate justice can be achieved. The article is part of the anthology "Climate change as a social challenge" recently published by Markus Mühling and Birgitta Annette Weinhardt.
