Climate justice - crucial message
Question
Which one of the following statements best reflects the most logical, rational and crucial message conveyed by the passage?
Options
Climate justice should be ingrained in detail in the rules of all the new climate compacts/agreements.
Environmental resources are unevenly distributed and exploited across the globe.
There is an impending issue of dealing with a huge number of climate change victims/climate refugees.
Climate change in all its connotations is mostly due to developed countries and therefore their share of burden should be more.
Explanation
The passage notes that climate justice has lacked global consensus , but highlights that the critical issue ahead is how resources, technology, and regulations will be deployed to support victims. The author concludes by broadening the definition of climate justice to include adaptation support and compensation. To turn these broad socio-political concepts into real-world resource pathways, climate justice must be formally integrated into international frameworks and rules. This aligns directly with option (a). Options (b), (c), and (d) highlight sub-problems or political claims without capturing the text's operational focus[cite: 3762, 3763, 3787].
Answer: (a).
