ABSTRACT

Some of the key concepts of a public philosophy specially construed for a global public sphere of climate action outlined, this chapter moves on to discuss their implications. A changing public sphere has norm-changing capacity, and empowering and emancipatory potentials. This has enormous potentials, but also new risks and dilemmas, as underlying relations of inequality may persist or new dynamics of exclusion and marginalization may arise. The chapter opens a critical space for critical analysis of these potentials, setting the agenda for future work for critical reflection on justice and equity in transformations.
