Constraining global climate change to 1.5°C is commonly understood to require urgent and deep societal transformations. Yet such transformations are not always viewed as politically feasible; finding ways to enhance the political feasibility of ambitious decarbonization trajectories is needed. This paper reviews the role of social justice as an organizing principle for politically feasible 1.5°C transformations. A social justice lens usefully focuses attention on first, protecting vulnerable people from climate change impacts, second, protecting people from disruptions of transformation, and finally, enhancing the process of envisioning and implementing an equitable post-carbon society. However, justice-focused arguments could also have unintended consequences, such as being deployed against climate action. Hence proactively engaging with social justice is critical in navigating 1.5°C societal transformations.

将全球气候变化限制在1.5°C通常被认为需要紧急而深刻的社会变革。然而，这种转变并不总是被视为在政治上是可行的。需要寻找方法来增强雄心勃勃的脱碳轨道的政治可行性。本文回顾了社会正义作为政治上可行的1.5°C转换的组织原则的作用。社会正义的视角首先将注意力集中在保护脆弱人群免受气候变化的影响上，其次保护人们免受转型的破坏，最后加强构想和实施一个公平的后碳社会的过程。但是，以正义为中心的论点也可能产生意想不到的后果，例如被部署为反对气候行动。
