Anthropogenically induced climate change is leading to profound ecological, economic, and social changes worldwide. Janine Bentz-Hölzl is developing the foundations for a global climate treaty that defines the rights and obligations of states in international climate policy and fulfills the demand for climate justice. Distributive and corrective justice claims of current and future generations are contrasted to develop a new approach to solutions. This approach envisions a fair distribution of usage rights to the atmospheric resource and simultaneously establishes a fair "burden sharing" of the costs of climate change. The realization of the global climate treaty is justified by the establishment of an international organization for climate and environment, as well as a Global Environmental Court.
