Notes

  1. We also started an international listserv for anyone working anywhere on the intersection of justice and climate change. Workshop and listserv subscription information can be found on the Climate Justice and Equity Network website: www.sustainability.asu.edu/climate-justice-equity/. The listserv can also be subscribed to by emailing clim_eq@asu.edu.

  2. The German Development Institute (DIE) funded the event, which was co-hosted by Arizona State University and Brown University. The core organisers were myself, Timmons Roberts (Brown), Clara Brandi (DIE) and Steffen Bauer (DIE).

  3. The term ‘developing countries’ is built into the language of the UNFCCC and has remained central to negotiations about equitable burden-sharing and historical responsibility in this context, which is why I use it here.

  4. These data are from the CAIT database maintained by the World Resources Institute, http://cait.wri.org/ [last accessed 23 January 2018].
