Centre for Environmental Justice
What is Environmental Justice?
Environmental Justice ensures the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people – in the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies.
An Environmental Justice approach seeks to ensure that:
-
Climate change and other environmental harms do not disproportionately affect those who have contributed least to the problem.
- The State’s response to environmental challenges addresses inequality and protects the rights of present and future generations.
