  1. Professor TahseenJafry GCU Climate Justice Resource Hub

  2. Project History Creation of a sound, robust, evidence based knowledge and information resource hub. Climate Justice Resource Hub Project History Born of a conversation between Glasgow Caledonian University and the Mary Robinson Foundation – Climate Justice (MRFCJ).

  3. How did we begin? Using principles of climate justice as set out by the MRFCJ and working closely with Dr Tara Shine developed a methodology for the creation of a climate justice repository. Our approach Why? • To determine what is the current global picture of work in the area of climate justice?

  4. Initial findings Initial search for articles: information was scattered across a wide range of journals. no one comprehensive place where the literature could be found.

  5. Systematic review of literature To identify and profile all peer reviewed and published literature on climate justice. How? Using the PRISMA statement – Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis • Data extraction, synthesis, interpretation • Valuation • Discussion • Setting research parameters and scope • Identifying and analysing relevant studies • Quality assessment

  6. Systematic review of literature Literature search built around the definition and pillars of climate justice by the MRFCJ. Pillar 1: Human societal and developmental aspects of climate change. Pillar 2: Adaptation to the impacts of climate change Pillar 3: Equitable low carbon development Created a definitive list of key search terms.

  7. Systematic review of literature Created a definitive list of key search terms.

  8. Data base search 4 global databases: science direct, web of knowledge, ABI/INFORM, google scholar. Search covered a 10 year period. Initial trawl through the databases resulted in over 8500 articles. Further screening and refined searches resulted in approx 1100 articles for inclusion in the repository.

  9. Repository on Climate Justice Unique scientifically sound, robust repository containing around 1000 journal articles. Categorised as: Adaptation Agriculture Climate Change Mitigation Climate Justice Movement Economics Ethical and Philosophical Approaches Food Security Gender Health Human Rights Legal Perspectives Low-Carbon Technology Migration and Conflict Policy and Governance Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) Social Justice

  10. Repository on Climate Justice This robust resource base of scientifically sound evidence and information on climate justice is a global first. Can be used by anyone concerned about or working on the ethics and socio-economic factors of climate change and their impact on humanity especially the most vulnerable. Continually evolving and updated as new research is published.

  11. Making access to information easy Each article comes with a review. Articles are analysed against the following elements: What do the authors set out to achieve and why? How does this relate to climate justice? What was found? How can the research influence policy? The material is there to be used – please do take a look.

  12. Analysis of Literature What is the current global picture of work in the area of climate justice in terms of authoritative and published research? Sub-questions are: What evidence exists to indicate policy and actions to promote / increase / bring about climate justice? What comprises/what are the elements of climate justice research? Key research questions

  13. What are the issues? What works and where? What are the challenges and barriers? What next? Where are the gaps in policy? Where are the gaps in research? Synthesis of Literature Specific Research Questions

  15. GCU Climate Justice Briefing Notes Take home messages Summary of the briefing notes Pre-publication material 16 categories – 7 left to complete

  16. Vision for the Future We would like to see the resource hub grow: To continue building our repository. To foster new collaborations. Facilitate cutting edge research. Promoting discussion, debate and dialogue on new and emerging climate justice issues. Created a valuable asset, theplace to go for good reliable information, free from political bias, for practitioners, academics, and politicians.

  17. Vision for the Future Engage with us and help us to play our part in contributing to Scotland’s efforts to tackling the global challenges of addressing climate justice. Contact: Prof. TahseenJafry t.jafry@gcu.ac.uk

  18. Thank You.
