气候适应政治既为纠正不平等现象提供了障碍，也为纠正不平等现象提供了机会，这些不平等现象使一些社区特别容易受到气候相关环境危害的影响。通过揭示这些障碍和机遇，程序正义理论可以帮助确定促进弱势群体利益的程序改革和政治策略。提出了一种程序正义的解释，强调对环境进行政治控制的能力，定义为拥有影响适应决策的政治权力。虽然在环境不公正政治中塑造这种能力的变量常常以再现环境不平等的方式相互作用，但适应政治有可能产生更多变革性的结果。为了说明这种潜力，在强调潜在的干预点之前，我们利用环境不公正政治和气候适应政治之间的差异来勾勒出气候适应政治中弱势群体政治能力类型的基本特征。
Climate adaptation politics presents both obstacles and opportunities for correcting inequities that leave some communities especially vulnerable to climate-related environmental harms. By revealing these obstacles and opportunities, theories of procedural justice can help to identify procedural reforms and political strategies that advance the interests of vulnerable populations. An account of procedural justice is proposed that foregrounds the capability for political control over one's environment, defined as having the political power to influence adaptation decisions. While the variables shaping this capability in the politics of environmental injustice often interact in ways that reproduce environmental inequities, adaptation politics has the potential to produce more transformational outcomes. To illustrate this potential, differences between the politics of environmental injustice and the politics of climate adaptation are drawn on to sketch the basic features of a typology of vulnerable populations' political capabilities in the politics of climate adaptation, before highlighting the potential points for intervention.
