Ketika berbicara mengenai climate justice, mereka yang tidak memiliki kapabilitas dan fasilitas untuk beradaptasi terhadap perubahan iklim akan menanggung dampak tertinggi dari perubahan iklim. Sedangkan mereka yang mampu beradaptasi akan bertahan. Oleh sebab itu, sudah seharusnya menjadi kewajiban moral bagi orang-orang berkekuatan dan berpengaruh untuk melakukan intervensi atas efek dari perubahan iklim. Meski begitu, memaksakan kewajiban moral kepada "si kaya" untuk menolong "si miskin" masih menjadi sebuah pertanyaan filosofis yang menuai pro kontra. Oleh sebab itu, terlepas dari seberapa besar dan kecilnya pengaruh yang dapat setiap orang berikan, mengambil tindakan untuk menanggulangi krisis iklim tetaplah menjadi kewajiban setiap manusia yang masih menginjak permukaan bumi sesuai dengan proporsi kapabilitas masing-masing.Â
