👏
3-In it, I review the climate justice literature and sociological work on inequality beliefs to bring the two together, arguing that we need to think more closely about justice “from the ground up", as Daniel Miller suggested decades ago, in #climate and in #justtransition research
2-Does this mean meritocratic sentiments can be ignored in #climatejustice models? In a new article in Climatic Change, I argue no – precisely because they are powerful and because they appear in complex, often opaque forms link.springer.com/article/10.1... @cidape.bsky.social @ifswien.bsky.social
1- We can increasingly see how #meritocratic sentiments are mobilized to undermine pro-climate action, as in the far right's delegitimizing of #climate policy as "illegitimate state redistribution"
