Assessing climate action involves ethical considerations that the literature often describes as climate justice. The term 'climate justice,' however, has been used in different ways in different contexts and by different communities. Grassroot organisations and activists often focus on unequal global power relations, wealth, and interests within communities, within nations, and along the North-South divide, as well as the historical responsibility for climate change . Some national governments also view climate justice as the right of developing countries to industrialise. Balancing these issues, international climate change negotiations have primarily focused on current capacities and responsibilities for addressing climate change as reflected in the UNFCCC principle of 'common but differentiated responsibilities' .
