| Analysing environmental justice: some conclusions | |
| |
| |
| There is value in understanding exactly how social differentiation exists and how it is experienced in environmental terms | |
| |
| |
| Environmental inequalities are constituted by more than spatial patterns of proximity and exposure | |
| |
| |
| Recognising the methodological complexities and choices involved in generating empirical evidence is important in progressing understanding and in doing justice | |
| |
| |
| It is necessary to distinguish between inequality and injustice and to reason carefully about why an inequality matters and to whom | |
| |
| |
| Environmental justice is about more than just patterns of distribution; procedure, recognition and their detail also matter | |
| |
| |
| Environmental justice is contested and involves political challenges | |
| |
| |
| Environmental justice is an objective but also a process of 'working towards' | |
