Environmental Justice Law

Environmental Justice Law focuses on ensuring that all communities, especially marginalized and low-income ones, have the right to a healthy environment. It addresses the disproportionate impacts of pollution and environmental hazards on these groups. This area of law seeks to protect vulnerable populations from harmful environmental practices and to promote equitable access to clean air, water, and safe land. By advocating for fair treatment and involvement in environmental decision-making, Environmental Justice Law aims to create a healthier, more equitable society where everyone shares the benefits and burdens of environmental policies.
