Abstract

Research objectives 1. To critically examine relevant theories of justice particularly Rawls’ theory of fairness, Sen’s capability approach, and environmental justice theory as foundations for equitable climate funding. 2. To interpret the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi (partnership, active protection, and redress) within the context of climate adaptation. 3. To assess the strengths and limitations of the adaptation fund allocation models in Australia and the United Kingdom (UK). 4. To propose context-specific framework for Aotearoa NZ that support fair and Treaty-aligned distribution of adaptation resources.
