Kofi Annan calls for 'climate justice'

Even though our fast-changing world isn't short of neologisms, Kofi Annan has thrown up one more: 'climate justice'. Echoing popular calls for social justice, the former UN Secretary General called on the world's major polluters to accept responsibility for cleaning up the world they dirtied. Moreover, the international community must not accept the injustice of instead burdening poor and vulnerable peoples with that responsibility.
