Abstract

Environmental benefits and risks are not distributed equally. All around the world, marginalized social groups are disproportionately exposed to environmental hazards that significantly degrade their health, limit their socioeconomic opportunities, and reinforce their marginal social positions. While many solutions have been proposed to rectify these dynamics, none have been as influential as Environmental Justice. Environmental Justice, or EJ, is both a body of research and a social movement that seeks to identify environmental discrimination, draw attention to it, and work through a number of political and community channels to restore equitability when necessary. In this sense, EJ plays a vital role in improving the environmental experiences for the world’s most vulnerable social groups. This chapter discusses theoretical and conceptual foundations of EJ and related concepts, discoveries resulting from EJ-oriented studies in the US and other world regions, new fields relying on EJ methodologies, and both the global and local implications of working toward EJ. While no chapter can fully summarize the entire body of EJ research, this chapter provides a comprehensive overview that emphasizes the vital role that EJ plays in restoring justice and equity for those who need it most.

Alyssa Castor, Aaron Flores, Angel Griego, Casey Mullen, and Ricardo Rubio equally contributed to this chapter.
