Place-Based Justice

Place-Based Justice refers to the idea that social, economic, and environmental justice should consider the specific characteristics and histories of particular locations. It emphasizes that different communities face unique challenges, and effective solutions must be tailored to their contexts. This approach advocates for equitable access to resources, opportunities, and decision-making processes in relation to local needs and issues. By focusing on the geographical and cultural backgrounds of communities, Place-Based Justice seeks to address inequalities and empower residents to influence their environments positively.
