What is the connection between environmentalism and social justice?

Environmentalism and social justice are intimately connected. Environmental degradation, pollution, and climate change disproportionately affect marginalized communities and underserved populations, resulting in social and economic injustice. Environmental policies and legislation must consider the social justice implications of their implementation to ensure that all members of society have access to clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment. Environmentalism must consider the intersectionality of race, gender, socioeconomic status, and other important social factors to create a more just and sustainable future for all.
