Climate justice serves as an interpretive framework for addressing the impacts and disparities of climate change, but empirical evaluations of the sources of support for climate justice and its three pillars – procedural, recognition and distributive – are limited. This study examines factors influencing support for these pillars through a national survey in Guatemala, a country with high vulnerability to climate change. These results highlight the distinct expressions of climate justice and their respective goals.
