Editorial Access and Allocation in Earth System Governance.

The purpose of this I Special Issue on Access and Allocation in Earth System Governance i is to undertake a decadal analysis of the literature on the subject since 2008, to harvest lessons learnt, to test some of these ideas and to develop theories on governance. Although they apply the access and allocation lens to adaptation, they argue that these terms are less intuitive for the adaptation literature and prefer the notion of climate justice. The final synthesis paper by Gupta and Lebel argues that although in some fields access and allocation may appear to be unintuitive terms, this paired framework enables unpacking socio-ecological justice issues.
