Environmental risks and harms affect certain geographic areas and populations more than others. The environmental justice movement is aimed at having the public and private sectors address this disproportionate burden of risk and exposure to pollution in minority and/or low-income communities, and for those communities to be engaged in the decision-making processes. Environmental Justice provides an overview of this defining problem and explores the growth of the environmental justice movement. It analyzes the complex mixture of environmental laws and civil rights legal theories adopted in environmental justice litigation. Teachers will have online access to the more than 100 page Teachers Manual.

Environmental justice is the concept that minority and low-income individuals, communities and populations should not be disproportionately exposed to environmental hazards, and that they should share fully in making the decisions that affect their environment. This volume examines the sources of environmental justice law and how evolving regulations and court decisions impact projects around the country.

The need to reassess the discourse of sustainable development in terms of equity and justice has grown rapidly in the last decade. This book explores renewed and distinctive approaches to the sustainability and justice debate, integrating a range of perspectives that include moral philosophy, sociology and law. By bringing together young and senior scholars from the field of global environmental law and governance from around the world, this work is divided into three sections, covering sustainable development and justice, sustainable development in context, and sustainable development and judiciaries. This book will appeal to academics, law practitioners and policy-makers interested in shaping future socio-legal research on global environmental law and governance.

Relying on graphics, flow charts, cases, and administrative materials, it provides a step-by-step introduction to six of the most important federal environmental statutes. The Second Edition will use new cases to allow professors to discuss how global climate change is affecting environmental and natural resource regulation in a variety of contexts. Specifically, climate change will be the centerpiece of new cases involving NEPA, the ESA, the Clean Air Act (Massachusetts v. EPA), and citizen suit standing.

This unique study of social harm offers a systematic and critical discussion of the nature of environmental harm from an eco-justice perspective, challenging conventional criminological definitions of environmental harm. The book evaluates three interconnected justice-related approaches to environmental harm: environmental justice (humans), ecological justice (the environment) and species justice (non-human animals). It provides a critical assessment of environmental harm by interrogating key concepts and exploring how activists and social movements engage in the pursuit of justice. It concludes by describing the tensions between the different approaches and the importance of developing an eco-justice framework that to some extent can reconcile these differences. Using empirical evidence built on theoretical foundations with examples and illustrations from many national contexts, ‘Environmental harm’ will be of interest to students and academics in criminology, sociology, law, geography, environmental studies, philosophy and social policy all over the world.

The need for environmental protection is all around: air and water pollution; severe weather; sea level rise; loss of species, wetlands, glaciers and biodiversity; water and food shortages; disease and pandemics; and food and water insecurity. It's also close at hand: the water from the tap; the local air quality index; local land use and development; flooding and storm damage. There are also constant reminders, as young people demand, and future generations deserve, continued vigilance in the face of environmental challenges and the climate crisis. Modern Environmental Law is a current casebook that examines signature federal, state, international and global laws, including common law and public trust, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, climate change, environmental rights, water rights, international environmental law, and environmental justice. The contents are torn from the headlines, including recent decisions from the 2021-2022 and 2022-23 Terms of the United States Supreme Court (e.g., West Virginia v. EPA; Sackett v. EPA, etc.). The casebook also integrates many related concepts, including separation of powers, federalism and individual rights, and interacts with other areas of law, including constitutional law, administrative law, property and civil procedure, and land use law.

This comprehensive Research Handbook offers an innovative analysis of environmental law in the global South and contributes to an important reassessment of some of its major underlying concepts. The Research Handbook discusses areas rarely prioritized in environmental law, such as land rights, and underlines how these intersect with issues including poverty, livelihoods and the use of natural resources, challenging familiar narratives around development and sustainability in this context and providing new insights into environmental justice.
