- Summary:
- This volume’s interdisciplinary research is based on the premise that we live an unsustainable global lifestyle. Finding ways to better inhabit our world is a challenge not only for scientists but also for civil society. One means of achieving sustainability is through promoting Environmental Justice. This volume contains both theoretical and case study analyses that propose methods for achieving and managing global environmental justice. Creating such an environmental equilibrium is a difficult goal, but the tools for reaching it simultaneously respond to many other challenging questions of the contemporary world. The ideal of just, sustainable development can induce efforts for solving inequity problems across many sectors.
