This paper proposes that “development justice” be taken up as an analytical concept and praxis‐driven framework for research on disasters, resilience, and climate change. The piece begins with a synopsis of the historical‐structural factors exacerbating risk in the Caribbean before reviewing the concepts of vulnerability, resilience, and development justice. Next, drawing from empirical data and via a development justice lens, we highlight how the logics, practices, and debts of colonial underdevelopment, racial capitalism, and neoliberal extraction continue to erode resilience across the region. We end by recommending that future adaptation and mitigation strategies related to disasters, catastrophes, and climate change be more attentive to structural and slow violence, as well as the historical trajectories of imperialism, racial capitalism, and hetero patriarchal norms. In sum, the piece constitutes an evidence‐based assertion that development justice perspectives alongside theories of non‐metaphorical decolonisation be used by scholars, activists, scientists, and states alike who are committed to mediating climate change and preventing/reducing the damage caused by disasters.

发展正义，一项建议：应对加勒比地区的灾难，灾难和气候变化

本文建议将“发展正义”作为分析概念和实践驱动的框架来进行灾害，复原力和气候变化研究。文章首先概述了加剧加勒比地区风险的历史结构因素，然后回顾了脆弱性，复原力和发展正义的概念。接下来，通过经验数据并通过发展正义的视角，我们强调殖民地欠发达，种族资本主义和新自由主义的剥削的逻辑，做法和债务如何继续侵蚀整个地区的复原力。我们最后建议，与灾难，灾难和气候变化有关的未来适应和缓解策略应更注意结构性暴力和缓慢的暴力，以及帝国主义，种族资本主义，以及不同的父权制规范。总而言之，该文章构成了基于证据的主张，致力于致力于调解气候变化和预防/减少灾害造成的损害的学者，活动家，科学家和国家都使用发展正义观点以及非隐喻非殖民化理论。 。
