JABRAYILOV, Muhammad Soltan oglu. Climate change in the age of neo-imperialism: issues of justice and responsibility. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2024, vol.16, suppl.2, pp. 243-252.  Epub Dec 20, 2024. ISSN 2218-3620.

The article examines the challenges of justice and responsibility in addressing climate change within the framework of neo-imperialism. Neo-imperialism in this context highlights the pursuit of control and resource exploitation by modern political and economic powers over new territories. "Green neocolonialism" is analyzed as a term for developed countries' appropriation of resources under the guise of solving environmental problems, often leading to new forms of colonialism. Key themes include ecological colonization, the exploitation of natural resources, and its profound impact on ecosystems, with the effects of climate change being particularly severe in less developed regions. A central argument calls for rethinking humanity's relationship with ecosystems and a return to ecological balance. The concepts of justice and responsibility are emphasized as essential to overcoming today's climate challenges. Ultimately, the article proposes a theoretical framework for creating a fairer, more sustainable, and ecologically balanced world for future generations. It is suggested various approaches to enhance environmental responsibility, ensure equitable resource distribution, strengthen the concept of global justice, and prevent neo-imperialist tactics.

Keywords : Neo-imperialism; Green neo-colonialism; Ecological colonialism; Return to balance; Justice; Responsibility.
