This thoughtful book provides an overview of the major developments
in the theory and practice of 'environmental justice'. It
illustrates the direction of the evolution of rights of nature and
exposes the diverse meanings and practical uses of the concept of
environmental justice in different jurisdictions, and their
implications for the law, society and the environment. The term
'environmental justice' has different meanings to different
scholars and is applied in many different contexts. For some, the
focus is on equal distribution of the earth's benefits, with
concern for the interests of the less wealthy, disadvantaged
minorities, or indigenous peoples. For others, the focus is on the
interests of the earth and nature itself. Additionally, for some,
environmental justice is a framework for discourse, whilst for
others it connotes specific legal principles and procedures. The
application of these interpretations through the law involves
diverse approaches and rules. In this timely book, expert
contributors identify the meanings and the practical translations
of environmental justice, reflecting the perspectives of academic,
judicial and indigenous people from many countries. Among the
issues considered are the rights of nature and its application
through judicial practice, and approaches to respecting the laws,
cultures and the rights of Indigenous peoples. This integrated
exploration of the topic will provide an excellent resource for
scholars, judicial officers and practitioners interested in
environmental and social justice issues. Contributors: J. Aseron,
