Chosen justice question particularly relevant for the regulatory/policy framework (in the light of JUSTNORTH research, aimed at supporting future justice-focused research on Arctic governance):

Climate justice: How does the instrument affect the climate change?

Climate justice: How is the implementation of a law/policy affected by climate changes?

Climate justice: Who bears the burden of any costs associated with climate effects goverened by the law/policy?

Climate justice: What measures have been put in place to ameliorate the climate change effects?

Climate justice: Who pays the cost of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures? Who reaps the benefits from climate policies and low-carbon transition projects?

Climate justice: How have decisions been made concerning the climate effects? Was anybody excluded from the decision-making process with respect to climate mitigation and adaptation actions?

Intergenerational justice: What implications does the framework have for future generations?

Iceland aims to achieve carbon neutrality before 2040 and to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 under the Paris Agreement. A Climate Action Plan, updated in 2020, contains 48 actions and is Iceland's main policy instrument to reach its goals of cutting emissions and reach carbon neutrality.
