Environmental Justice

Environmental justice refers to the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws and policies. This includes addressing disparities in the distribution of environmental burdens and benefits, ensuring inclusive and fair decision-making processes, and remedying past and ongoing injustices. Research in this area investigates practices of urban greening, such as green gentrification, and explores novel methods of community engagement to achieve more equitable outcomes for communities.
