Abstract
El presente artículo tiene como objetivo presentar una visión general de la Justicia Ambiental, en sus dimensiones práctica y teórica. En la primera vertiente, este concepto designa a un movimiento social surgido en Estados Unidos, a principios de los años 80 del siglo pasado, como reacción contra el racismo ambiental. En su dimensión teórica, se trata de una amplia corriente epistemológica y axiológica que estudia los procesos de discriminación en el acceso a los recursos naturales y en la carga de contaminación. Este marco teórico, del que se presenta aquí una propuesta, incorpora nociones de la ecología política, la justicia intergeneracional o el concepto de responsabilidad ampliada jonesiano
This paperwork intends to present a general perspective of Environmental Justice in both its practical and theoretical dimensions. Regarding the first one, the concept defines a social movement originated in the United States at the beginning of the 1980´s, as a reaction against the environmental racism. On its theoretical dimension, it is a doctrinal tendency formed by a wide group of legal, political and ethical notions. It analyzes the processes of discrimination in the access to natural resources as in the burden of contamination. The theoretical frame that is introduced here includes notions from the Political Ecology, the inter-generational justice or the concept of responsibility created by Hans Jonas
