Psychological dimensions of environmental justice

Explore the psychological dimensions of environmental justice, equity, and activism in addressing environmental inequalities and systemic injustices. Discuss theories of environmental justice, such as distributive justice, procedural justice, and recognition justice, in understanding disparities in environmental hazards exposure, access to resources, and decision-making power among marginalized communities. Analyze the psychological impacts of environmental racism, pollution, and climate change on vulnerable populations’ health, well-being, and socio-economic status.
