Abstract
This chapter underscores the need for epistemic justice in the climate justice literature that, despite its commitment to equity, still in many ways elevates certain bodies of knowledge over others. Ethnic diversity and discrimination within the Majority World may impose intersectional inequities on some climate justice scholars and the populations they study and partner with. One reflection of the masculinist nature of academia is the relatively low prioritization of community-based research so essential for climate justice knowledge production and the concomitant lack of interest in – and funding for – climate justice-related work among key stakeholders, including governments, media, and many academic circles. Change is urgently needed in how research is funded, how international partnerships operate, how national governments see climate justice issues and those who study them, how research is published, and how scholars across the world communicate.
