Through various international case studies presented by both
practitioners and scholars, Environmental Justice in the
Anthropocene explores how an environmental justice approach is
necessary for reflections on inequality in the Anthropocene and for
forging societal transitions toward a more just and sustainable
future. Environmental justice is a central component of
sustainability politics during the Anthropocene - the current
geological age in which human activity is the dominant influence on
climate and the environment. Every aspect of sustainability
politics requires a close analysis of equity implications,
including problematizing the notion that humans as a collective are
equally responsible for ushering in this new epoch. Environmental
justice provides us with the tools to critically investigate the
drivers and characteristics of this era and the debates over the
inequitable outcomes of the Anthropocene for historically
marginalized peoples. The contributors to this volume focus on a
critical approach to power and issues of environmental injustice
across time, space, and context, drawing from twelve national
contexts: Austria, Bangladesh, Chile, China, India, Nicaragua,
Hungary, Mexico, Brazil, Sweden, Tanzania, and the United States.
Beyond highlighting injustices, the volume highlights
forward-facing efforts at building just transitions, with a goal of
identifying practical steps to connect theory and movement and
envision an environmentally and ecologically just future. This
interdisciplinary work will be of great interest to students,
scholars, and practitioners focused on conservation, environmental
politics and governance, environmental and earth sciences,
environmental sociology, environment and planning, environmental
justice, and global sustainability and governance. It will also be
of interest to social and environmental justice advocates and
activists.
