Environmental justice can be understood as ensuring that everyone and their communities enjoy equal protections of their health, safety, and security through laws and regulations. While environmental problems continue to transcend physical and social boundaries, and leaders of some national governments back pedal from environmental obligations, sociologists can continue to make significant contributions to ideas, practices, and measures surrounding environmental justice. This panel will ask questions and share insights into sociology's leadership when it comes to environmental justice.
