Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive and insightful exploration of climate justice and climate injustice and their social, geopolitical, legal, security, visual and moral dimensions. It contributes perspectives on the global climate crisis and its implications. The paper adds insight into global climate and environmental processes, concepts of climate justice and injustice, environmental and human security, climate visuals, and legal and moral approaches to the observed topics. The study explores contemporary academic scientific literature's methodological trends and critical themes. Besides a meta-analysis, content analysis, thematic analysis, a descriptive method, and an in-depth literature review of various scientific and expert-based data forms, the study incorporated the representation and analysis of visual expressions of climate change consequences and injustice. It also included human-centric aspects and perceptions of youth climate activists. Accordingly, the paper analyzes the essence and goals of climate justice, the consequences of climate injustice, and the positions of wealthy and poorer countries - mainly and severely affected by climate change, and offers normative solutions. Climate injustice processes and occurrences generate social injustice, inequalities, inequities, and exclusions while jeopardizing critical human security.
