正义前行：部落、气候适应和责任

联邦政府承认的部落必须适应气候变化带来的许多生态挑战，从冰川退缩对文化重要物种栖息地的影响到海平面上升如何迫使人类社区搬迁。支持部落适应气候变化的政府和社会机构往往受到政治障碍的限制，引起了人们对正义的关切。司法的典型用途是提请注意对正式权利的侵犯，或考虑某些人口可能在多大程度上造成了人为气候变化，除此之外，司法框架还应指导所有遗产的领导人、科学家和专业人员以及与联邦承认的部落合作或为之工作的人如何理解哪些行动在道德上对支持部落的适应努力至关重要。本文件推动向前瞻性司法框架的转变。该框架将正义置于对部落和许多其他人至关重要的责任体系中，这些责任体系从物种间关系网到政府对政府的伙伴关系。当这些责任制度以支持部落社区持续繁荣的方式运作时，正义就得到了实现。
Federally-recognized tribes must adapt to many ecological challenges arising from climate change, from the effects of glacier retreat on the habitats of culturally significant species to how sea leave rise forces human communities to relocate. The governmental and social institutions supporting tribes in adapting to climate change are often constrained by political obstructions, raising concerns about justice. Beyond typical uses of justice, which call attention to violations of formal rights or to considerations about the degree to which some populations may have caused anthropogenic climate change, a justice framework should guide how leaders, scientists and professionals of all heritages and who work with or for federally-recognized tribes understand what actions are morally essential for supporting tribes’ adaptation efforts. This paper motivates a shift to a forward-looking framework of justice. The framework situates justice within the systems of responsibilities that matter to tribes and many others, which range from webs of inter-species relationships to government-to-government partnerships. Justice is achieved when these systems of responsibilities operate in ways that support the continued flourishing of tribal communities.
