Abstract

The article discusses the understanding of justice based on the values and beliefs of environmentalists. It highlights environmental justice movements formed in Canada that seek both the material preservation of the environment and the protection and respect for nature. An overview of the method used to examine the understanding of justice by environmentalists is offered. The author concludes that efforts in integrating environmental and social justice seems to have promoted heightened salience of social justice for the environmental movement.

Abstract

Researchers have found that many contemporary movements, including the environmental justice movement, offer multidimensional conceptions of justice that extend beyond the distribution of societal benefits and burdens. In an effort to understand the role of justice in environmental politics more broadly, we ask (1) how environmental activists throughout the movement understand social justice and (2) whether and how environmental activists vary in the kinds of justice claims they make. Drawing on interviews with samples of environmental activists in British Columbia, Canada, and the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington, Q methodology is used to examine how environmental activists understand justice. We find, within the mainstream of the environmental movement, varying and elaborated understandings of social justice in the environmental context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
