Ecological Justice
Ecological Justice refers to the fair distribution of environmental benefits and burdens among all people, regardless of their social, economic, or racial backgrounds. It emphasizes the need to address environmental issues in a way that considers the rights and needs of marginalized communities, who often bear the brunt of pollution and resource depletion.
This concept is closely linked to sustainability and aims to create a balance between human activities and the health of the planet. Advocates for ecological justice work to ensure that policies related to climate change, natural resources, and environmental protection are equitable and inclusive.
