A Systematic Review of the Literature on Climate Justice: A Comparison Between the Global North and South

This study analyzes the characteristics of publications on climate justice on a global scale and between countries in the North and South, using the guidelines of the PRISMA model. A total of 826 relevant papers were identified in five databases, with 717 from the Global North and 109 from the South. There is a concentration of work in the countries of the Global North. The social and economic disparities between countries in the North and South are reflected in the distribution of publications. The focus of climate justice research in the countries that make up the Global South is mainly on the socio-environmental context and the social vulnerability of the population; in this group, it is the first time that this theme has been expressed in the analysis.
