This essay entails a perceptual shift from seeing the world as a political theorist or as an ecological economist, and toward the perceptual vantages of those most vulnerable to climate change's destructiveness. It opens with an exploration of the consonances between the work of prison abolitionists and advocates for restorative justice. Restorative justice originates in Aristotle, and it is recognition that crimes affect the underlying relations of trust of society. The effacement of trust by crime or atrocity can be healed by creating a commons where victim and perpetrator can meet and communicate. This idea resonates powerfully in a world composed of damaged ecosystems in need of repair. Restorative justice pairs with the expanded demands (taking us from concern for others in the present to concern for others yet to be born) of intergenerational justice. The liberal Enlightenment view of justice as a universal is replaced by a more complicated conception of justice as the achievement of a variety of tools to enhance the capacity for human and other-than-human flourishing.
