WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE The environmental justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies. Fair treatment means no group of people should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental consequences resulting from industrial, governmental and commercial operations or policies.  Environmental Justice emerged as a concept in the United States in the early 1980s. The term has two distinct uses with the more common usage describing a social movement that focuses on the fair distribution of environmental benefits and burdens. The other use is an interdisciplinary body of social science literature that includes theories of the environment and justice, environmental laws and their implementations, environmental policy and planning and governance for development and sustainability, and political ecology.  Now days the Environmental justice being lost or badly treated that is why in some countries people claim that environmental justice. I hope now you understand well what is environmental justice, next i will tell you how it is being disturbed do not miss this.

Hello Yves!
I remember reading about Environmental justice in Rosa's report some minutes ago and it is nice to see that many ambassadors are interested in this agenda! Since the definition of environmental justice is closely related to the survival and maintaining of life, it really should be kept more strictly!
Thanks for the report :)

Yeah, Exactly it is also a movement that grew from the recognition of a disproportionate number of environmental hazards in certain places.
Environmental Justice works to ensure a healthy environment for all regardless of nationality, income, race, gender or age.
Thanks for well maintained article.
