Global Environmental Justice

Global Environmental Justice is the idea that all people, regardless of where they live or their background, should have the right to a healthy environment. It addresses how environmental benefits and burdens—such as pollution or climate change—are often unfairly distributed, with marginalized communities bearing the brunt of environmental harm. The concept emphasizes fairness and equity in tackling global environmental issues, ensuring that no group is disproportionately affected and that vulnerable communities have a voice in decision-making and access to resources for sustainable living.
