Online resources: Summary: Environmental justice is the subtext of this collection of anxieties around the need for a sustainable future on Planet Earth. Thinkers and scholars from a diversity of backgrounds reflect on what it means and how cultures must change to greet this future. From Romania to Mexico, Bosnia to Canada, Sweden to California authors analyze and recount community experiences and expectations leading to justice for land, sea, air and wildlife. The kind of ethical weltanschauung for a society in which this kind of justice is achievable is suggested. The collection points to the myriad of single instance decisions that we must all make in living our daily lives whether in our homes, workplaces or leisure time. From good policies to sound management, governments, corporations and community-based organizations will find prudent praxis from cover to cover.Summary: Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Table of Contents -- Foreword -- Introduction -- List of Abbreviations -- PART I Values and Signification: Foundations for Environmental Justice -- Environmental Virtue Ethics: Core Concepts and Values -- Knowledge and Valuation in Environmental Justice Struggles -- Advanced Technology Paths to Intergenerational Justice -- PART II Heuristic Strategies on Political, Economic and Social Issues -- Compensation and Climate Change: Three Exploratory Games -- Community Action for Individual Sustainability: Linking Sustainable Consumption, Citizenship and Justice -- Eco-Composition Pedagogy: The Environmental Imperative for L'é criture Féminine -- Building Democratic Citizenship on Environmental Local P roblems in Mexico -- PART III Environmental Justice and Law -- Fundamental Environmental Rights in EU Law: An Analysis of the Right of Access to Environmental Information -- Customary Law and Community Based Conservation of Marine Areas in Fiji -- PART IV Precarious Technologies? -- Unintended Consequences and Risky Technologies: A Virtue-Ethical Approach to the Moral Problems Caused by Genetic Engineering -- The Marketing of GM Products: Between Economic Growth and Ecology -- PART V Embedding Environmental Justice in Local, Social Frameworks -- Environmental Justice within Local Discourses about Coal-Ash Pollution in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina -- Adaptations to Environmental Sustainability: The Story of the Delta Farmland and Wildlife Trust -- University Autonomy and Sustainability: A Case Study of the University of British Columbia -- Index -- Notes on Contributors.PPN: PPN: 808857258Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE | BSZ-30-PQE-K1DLR
