What is planetary justice?

To reconsider the meaning of justice in a planetary frame is both a necessity in our time of multiple entangled crises and an endeavour that seeks convergence and synthesis where there might instead be irreconcilable differences.We invited scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to share their perspectives on the scope, scale, and purpose of planetary justice and received a variety of responses -all highly worthwhile in their own right.What we can conclude from this new milestone in the literature on planetary justice is that people emphasize different justice concerns and operate with different ontologies.Are the Earth system and the pluriverse opposing frameworks or somehow reconcilable?What concerns should be prioritized is also contested.Can there be a decolonial, multispecies, Earth systemic, justice that begins with the self and where matter is included in our sphere of justice?However, one agreement seems to be that planetary justice is inevitably ecosocial justice.

Abstract

To reconsider the meaning of justice in a planetary frame is both a necessity in our time of multiple entangled crises and an endeavour that seeks convergence and synthesis where there might instead be irreconcilable differences.We invited scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to share their perspectives on the scope, scale, and purpose of planetary justice and received a variety of responses -all highly worthwhile in their own right.What we can conclude from this new milestone in the literature on planetary justice is that people emphasize different justice concerns and operate with different ontologies.Are the Earth system and the pluriverse opposing frameworks or somehow reconcilable?What concerns should be prioritized is also contested.Can there be a decolonial, multispecies, Earth systemic, justice that begins with the self and where matter is included in our sphere of justice?However, one agreement seems to be that planetary justice is inevitably ecosocial justice.
