The Climate Justice Project provides accessible discussions of climate justice and related issues. The site focuses mainly on the moral issues that are raised by climate change. Key projects include: ‘The Morality of Fossil Fuel Exports’, ‘Carbon Budgets’, ‘What Are Contributions to Climate Change?’ and ‘Just Climate Transitions.

 The data was compiled with the help of Dr Dimitri Lafleur, Dr Veronique Lago, Persephone Fraser, Kate Evans, Kitty Jean Laginha and Eleanor Buckley and the website and data visualisation built by Matthew Copeland from Copeland Creative.
