environment justice

Environmental justice is about ensuring that no group of people, especially marginalized or disadvantaged communities, bears a disproportionate share of environmental harms such as pollution, unsafe waste disposal, or lack of access to clean air and water. It promotes fairness in how environmental benefits and burdens are distributed across different populations, advocating for equitable policies and practices. The goal is to protect vulnerable communities from environmental risks and ensure everyone has equal opportunity to live in healthy, sustainable environments.
