Issues of the environment and its sustainability are linked to
those of global warming, climate change and loss of biodiversity.
This is so because there is a general consensus in the scientific
community that the long-term shift or alteration of temperature and
weather patterns both locally and globally are the result of human
activities not the least those of burning of fossil fuels,
deforestation, agricultural practices, land-use changes, pollution.
Accordingly, questions of environmental justice arise because of
the threat that anthropogenic climate change pose to our planet.
This book examines these issues using as its point of departure
environmental justice, where environmental justice is concerned
with environmental sustainability and the equitable treatment and
involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes, and
educational levels in the development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental programs, laws, rules, and policies.
The book discusses, among other things, the population and
consumption debate with regard to resource depletion and loss of
biodiversity, problems of global policing of environmental
pollution and greenhouse gas emissions by nation-states in the
context of the tragedy of the commons and possible solutions to
some of these problems from African and Native American
philosophies and worldviews.
