Robyn Eckersley, professor of political science at the University of Melbourne, discusses how climate justice can be advanced within the framework laid out in the 2015 Paris climate agreement, advocating for a pincer grip of international and subnational pressure to get states to justify the fairness of their contributions. 

This clip summarizes Professor Eckersley’s comments made as part of a roundtable hosted by the Carnegie Council’s journal, "Ethics & International Affairs," at the International Studies Association’s Annual Convention, which took place in April 2018.
