My primary research question is whether a case can be made for the establishment of an Environmental Court of Justice through the use of climatejustice framings. Climate change presents many challenges to the international order and all the actors and institutions in it, and I believe thecurrent response has been inadequate to deal with those challenges. The state-centric approach that continues to dominate the international legalorder often dismisses climate justice because of the assumption that climate change burdens will never been evenly distributed across sovereignborders and therefore is of less importance. However, the inherent inequalities present both in the international system broadly but also in thespecific context of climate change action illustrates why there is the need for a questioning and potential restructuring of the international order,and especially the legal order governing the international system. Through a normative theory approach utilising qualitative methods likediscourse analysis I am to assess whether climate justice framings can be used to make a case for the establishment of an Environmental Court ofJustice. I suggest that that a case could be made if it was used as an opportunity to establish a multilevel legal governance body that presented anovel approach to issues of climate justice.

我的主要研究问题是，是否可以通过使用气候正义框架来建立一个环境法院。气候变化对国际秩序及其所有行为体和机构提出了许多挑战，我认为目前的应对措施不足以应对这些挑战。继续主导国际法律秩序的以国家为中心的方法往往忽视气候正义，因为它假设气候变化负担永远不会在主权边界之间均匀分配，因此不那么重要。然而，国际体系中广泛存在的内在不平等以及气候变化行动的具体背景表明，为什么有必要对国际秩序，特别是管理国际体系的法律的秩序提出质疑并可能进行重组。通过规范的理论方法，利用定性方法，如话语分析，我来评估气候正义框架是否可以用来建立一个环境法院的情况。我建议，如果将其作为一个机会，建立一个多层次的法律的治理机构，提出一种解决气候正义问题的新方法，那么就可以提出一个案例。
