The Environmental Law Institute celebrated the release of Environmental Justice: Legal Theory and Practice, 2nd Edition by Barry E. Hill

 

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.
