ABSTRACT
This chapter examines how the ongoing cosmopolitanization of climate risks triggers demands for a radically new framework of cosmopolitan justice, one that takes the planetary conjuncture as a starting point for redefining justice in deeper terms. Social media plays a crucial role in extending the 'cosmopolitan imagination' on issues of justice to a consideration of how, as well as why political, social, and ecological worlds must be remade. Sociological perspectives on the cosmopolitan have challenged sociology to adjust its analytical perspective beyond borders of a social, cultural, legal, and political kind, and account for processes of 'cosmopolitanization' occurring across territories, nationalities, regions, and cultures. As the product of a 'dialogical cosmopolitanism', that is, a communication-based learning that emerges from 'below' in everyday discourse settings, such insights reflect the degree to which mobilized youth have become active interpreters of human and political rights.
