Environmental Justice and Political Philosophy: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice

  • Abstract:
  • Environmental justice (EJ) has emerged as a critical framework for addressing the unequal distribution of environmental benefits and burdens, particularly among marginalized communities. This paper explores the intersection of environmental justice and political philosophy, examining how philosophical theories of justice, rights, and equality can inform and strengthen EJ movements. By analyzing key concepts such as distributive justice, procedural justice, and recognition justice, this paper argues that political philosophy provides a robust foundation for understanding and addressing environmental inequities. The paper concludes with recommendations for integrating philosophical insights into practical EJ policies and advocacy.
