Environmental Politics Environmental Justice Questions
Environmental justice intersects with environmental health by addressing the disproportionate distribution of environmental hazards and risks among different communities. Environmental justice seeks to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status, have equal access to a clean and healthy environment. This includes addressing issues such as air and water pollution, toxic waste disposal, and exposure to harmful chemicals. By addressing environmental injustices, we can improve overall environmental health and promote equity in the distribution of environmental benefits and burdens.
