  • Description: Environmental activists and academics alike are realizing that a sustainable society must be a just one. Environmental degradation is almost always linked to questions of human equality and quality of life. Throughout the world, those segments of the population that have the least political power and are the most marginalized are selectively victimized by environmental crises. This book argues that social and environmental justice within and between nations should be an integral part of the policies and agreements that promote sustainable development. The book addresses the links between environmental quality and human equality and between sustainability and environmental justice. Julian Agyeman is Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University in the US. Robert D Bullard is Ware Professor of Sociology and Director of the Environmental Justice Resource Center at Clark Atlanta University in the US. Rob Evans is Professor and Director of the Sustainable Cities Research Institute at Northumbria University in the UK. 'A seminal achievement.'
