This report assesses current research into the social justice aspects of the impacts of climate change in the UK, and of policy and practice to mitigate and adapt to those impacts. The social justice implications of climate change are not well understood in the UK context. To support the development of socially just responses to climate change this review draws together current research and thinking in this emerging field.
