Aggregate, monetised economic measures are, however, insufficient to address issues of climate justice fully or to reflect that wide range of worldviews and values that different people bring to questions of climate action and development . While recent work has enriched the consideration of distributive justice in aggregate social welfare functions , multi-objective approaches that separately report several biophysical and socioeconomic attributes can prove valuable . Many adaptation measures, in particular those that encompass transformational social changes , involve complicated trade-offs among multi-dimensional benefits and costs . Different people commonly value such trade-offs differently, particularly in heterogeneous societies. Multi-objective measures can thus enhance transparency, fairness, legitimacy and participation by highlighting the different outcomes that different people and communities might find important, making the specific trade-offs more transparent and explicit, and avoiding privileging any particular view on the appropriate trade-offs .
