What is environmental justice?

Isabelle Angelovski is the director of the Barcelona Lab for Urban Environmental Justice and Sustainability (BCNUEJ), a critical social scientist, and research professor at the UAB. In this video, Isabelle tells us how environmental injustice manifests in cities in the form of "green gentrification" and how seemingly benign urban development projects often fail to account for the intersection of environmental and social injustices.
The book Barcelona School of Ecological Economics and Political Ecology is the first self-reflective and systematic attempt to delineate the scope and boundaries of the eponymous School. Building on contributions from societal metabolism analysis, environmental valuation, ecological knowledge systems, environmental justice, management of the commons, climate and urban policies, and degrowth, the book offers curious scholars an introduction to the study of human-environmental interactions at the interface of ecological economics and political ecology.
