It traces the international evolution of environmental justice discourse and links environmental and social difference through a justice-focused lens. The analysis draws on research, activism, and policy development and evaluates how evidence, assumptions, and justice concepts generate and sustain inequalities, offering a critical framework for disadvantaged communities.","# ENVIRONMENTALJUSTICE\n\nCONCEPTS,EVIDENCEAND POLITICS  \n# Environmental Justice\n\nEnvironmental justice has increasingly become part of the language of environ-mental activism,political debate,academic research and policy making aroundthe world.It raises questions about how the environment impacts on differentpeople's lives.Does pollution follow the poor?Are some communities far morevulnerable to the impacts of flooding or climate change than others?Are thebenefits of access to greenspace for all,or only for some?Do powerful voicesdominate environmental decisions to the exclusion of others?  \nThis book focuses on such questions and the complexities involved in answer-ing them.It explores the diversity of ways in which environmental and socialdifference are intertwined,and how the justice of their interrelationship matters.It has a distinctive international perspective,tracing how the discourse of envi-ronmental justice has moved around the world and across scales to include globalconcerns,and examining research,activism and policy development in the US,the UK,South Africa and other countries.The widening scope and diversity ofwhat has been positioned within an environmental justice 'frame'is also reflectedin chapters that focus on waste,air quality,flooding,urban greenspace andclimate change.In each case,the basis for evidence of inequalities in impacts,vulnerabilities and responsibilities is examined,asking questions about theknowledge that is produced,the assumptions involved and the concepts ofjusticethat are being deployed in both academic and political contexts.  \nEnvironmental Justice offers a wide-ranging analysis of this rapidly evolvingfield,with compelling examples of the processes involved in producing inequali-ties and the challenges faced in advancing the interests of the disadvantaged.Itprovides a critical framework for understanding environmental justice in variousspatial and political contexts,and will be of interest to those studyingEnvironmental Studies,Geography,Politics and Sociology.  \nGordon Walker is Chair of Environment,Risk and Justice in the LancasterEnvironment Centre
