Environmental justice for the future: How protecting nature can create a fairer world for all
Abstract
Environmental justice is a transformative framework that links ecological sustainability with social equity. As climate change and environmental degradation disproportionately affect marginalized communities, integrating environmental justice into policy and practice is crucial for building a fairer world. This article explores the concept of environmental justice, its historical context and its potential to foster a more equitable and sustainable future. Through case studies and policy analysis, it examines how protecting nature not only preserves ecosystems but also upholds human rights and promotes social justice.
