Après avoir relevé le contraste entre l'indignation qui peut saisir chacun devant certains faits divers et l'indifférence avec laquelle est accepté le spectacle de catastrophes sanitaires, l'auteure pose la question d'un juste partage des ressources afin de lutter résolument contre les inégalités globales et de préserver un monde vivable.

"In the last three decades, environmental justice research has become one of the most dynamic fields in environmental politics scholarship. The rapidly growing body of research has brought about a proliferation of approaches, issues and actors, all of which have distinctive philosophical foundations, draw on specific political claims, or require adopting different policy measures. As such, the breadth and depth of the field can sometimes be a barrier for aspiring environmental justice students. This book therefore offers a comprehensive overview of the field of environmental justice. Written by leading international experts from a variety of professional, geographic, ethnic and disciplinary backgrounds, its chapters combine authoritative commentary with real-life cases. Organised into four parts - approaches, issues, actors and future directions - the chapters help the reader to understand the foundations of the field, including the principal concepts, debates and historical milestones. The book also features sections with follow-up questions, keywords and references for further reading, as well as a compilation of teaching materials that includes relevant policy, legal and grassroots documents related to environmental justice at local and global levels. Written in an accessible style Environmental Justice: Key Issues is the ideal toolkit for junior researchers, graduate students, upper-level undergraduates and anyone in need of a comprehensive introductory textbook on environmental justice"--

Race and socioeconomic status should not dictate the environmental health risks we face. Yet, too often this is not the case. The environmental justice movement seeks to avoid, minimize, and mitigate disproportionately high and adverse impacts on minority and/or low-income communities and to ensure that disadvantaged communities are engaged meaningfully in the environmental decisionmaking processes. Environmental Justice: Legal Theory and Practice provides a thought-provoking exposition and comprehensive review of the complex mixture of environmental laws and civil rights legal theories that are central to this still-evolving area of law. The book, now in its 4th edition, includes all of the significant cases and developments that have occurred since the prior edition. Readers will come away with a deep understanding of the dynamics of environmental justice and gain insight as to how best to address the issue through enlightened leadership in our communities, government agencies, state bar associations, law offices and legal services providers, law school clinics and academic institutions, and corporations.

Le changement climatique soulève de redoutables problèmes de justice : il rend nécessaire la réinterprétation de concepts moraux traditionnels, comme la nuisance et la responsabilité, et nous pousse chercher de nouveaux concepts normatifs, comme l'Anthropocène. Par-là, il nous oblige à inventer des dispositifs politiques, économiques et sociaux adaptés, alors même que rien ne garantit que nos théories morales revisitées nous permettront de comprendre toutes les questions éthiques soulevées par le changement climatique. Et que rien ne garantit non plus qu'une réforme de nos institutions parviendra à éviter les nuisances irréversibles. Mais ne pas prendre ces défis au sérieux augmenterait le risque de déclencher un changement climatique catastrophique et de réaliser les scénarios les plus injustes pour les plus pauvres, les générations futures, ainsi que pour les êtres vivants non humains dont la responsabilité nous incombe désormais.
