This paper is about intra‐ and inter‐generational equity, connecting environmental justice discourse with necessary responses to climate change. It offers a review of the role of globalization in this pervasive context, contrasting the disaggregated nature of localized impacts, and seeks to address the potential for adjusting law‐policy frameworks as a key part of the search for solutions. It argues that environmental justice approaches can incorporate values into law‐policy processes based upon vital aspects of the integrity and functioning of communities, distributional fairness, and capacities for wider engagement and participation in the search for necessary behavioural change. The conclusion is that the ultimate success of the urgent process of addressing climate‐related threats, through a meaningful degree of mitigation and adaptation, and multiple levels of decision‐making and response, must be informed by the precepts of environmental justice
