Abstract
Cuestiones referentes a la justicia y la equidad social enmarcadas en el ámbito medioambiental han tenido lugar en el movimiento por la justicia ambiental. Anteriormente, el movimiento medioambientalista se había centrado, casi exclusivamente, en la conservación del medio biogeofísico, así como en la reducción de elementos contaminantes de la atmósfera, la tierra y el agua. El paradigma de la justicia ambiental, sin embargo, ha tratado de incorporar, desde sus orígenes en Estados Unidos hace tres décadas, cuestiones de justicia social en el movimiento medioambiental, con actuaciones de gran éxito nacional. El concepto de “justicia ambiental” es dual, tanto por su faceta como movimiento social, como en calidad de paradigma con enormes implicaciones en la esfera de actuación pública. Este artículo considerará, teóricamente, el estado de la cuestión de la justicia ambiental, con el propósito de evaluar el impacto que este paradigma tiene sobre el movimiento medioambiental y sobre actuaciones políticas.
Issues of social justice and equity related to the environment have taken place in the environmental justice movement. Previously, the environmental movement had focused, almost exclusively, on issues related to the conservation of the physical environment as well as the reduction of pollutants from the atmosphere, land and water. The environmental justice paradigm, however, has sought, since its origins in the United States three decades ago, to incorporate issues of social justice in the environmental movement, with performances of great national success. The concept of environmental justice is dual, both as a social movement, and as a paradigm with enormous implications in the area of public action. This article will consider, theoretically, the state of the art of environmental justice, with the aim of evaluating the impact this paradigm has on the environmental movement and on political issues.
