Environmental Justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, in environmental decision-making. It seeks to ensure that everyone has the right to a healthy environment and is protected from environmental hazards, such as pollution and toxic waste.
This movement addresses the disproportionate impact of environmental issues on marginalized communities. By advocating for policies that promote sustainability and equity, Environmental Justice aims to empower communities to participate in decisions that affect their environment and health, fostering a more just and sustainable future for all.
