Mapping Ecological Distribution Conflicts Framing Environmental

Mapping Ecological Distribution Conflicts Framing Environmental The ejatlas collects ecological distribution conflicts (edc), a term coined (martinez alier, 1995b; martinez alier and o’connor, 1996) to describe social conflicts born from the unfair access to natural resources and the unjust burdens of pollution. The ejatlas collects ecological distribution conflicts (edc), a term coined (martinez alier, 1995b; martinez alier and o’connor, 1996) to describe social conflicts born from the unfair access to natural resources and the unjust burdens of pollution.

Mapping Ecological Distribution Conflicts Framing Environmental In 2012 the collection of “ecological distribution conflicts” (edc) in an atlas of environmental justice (the ejatlas) started. the ejatlas reached 3350 entries by january 2021. such. This article describes the origins of the terms “environmental justice” and “environmentalism of the poor and the indigenous” since the 1980s. in 2012 the collection of “ecological distribution conflicts” (edc) in an atlas of environmental justice (the ejatlas) started. The ejatlas documents 3350 ecological distribution conflicts (edcs), highlighting the rise of environmental justice movements. the industrial economy is entropic, continuously seeking new resources, leading to increased edcs and socio environmental conflicts. This overview paper, therefore, presents a conceptual framework that schematically maps out and describes the dynamics of interaction between social metabolism, ecological distribution conflicts, environmental justice movements, and sustainability transitions.

This overview paper, therefore, presents a conceptual framework that schematically maps out and describes the dynamics of interaction between social metabolism, ecological distribution conflicts, environmental justice movements, and sustainability transitions. Over 3300 ecological distribution conflicts are recorded in the atlas of environmental justice. such conflicts particularly occur at the frontiers of commodity extraction and waste disposal. In 2012 the collection of “ecological distribution conflicts” (edc) in an atlas of environmental justice (the ejatlas) started. the ejatlas reached 3350 entries by january 2021. such conflicts arise because the industrial economy is not circular, it is entropic. The conceptual frameworks, including environmental justice, ecosystem people, ecological resistance, eco political movements, the environmentalism of the poor, livelihood movements, and politics from below, all focus on marginalized groups fighting against harmful extractive activities. In this project we map what we call environmental justice or ecological distribution conflicts — conflicts that highlight the distributive & structural impacts of economic activities on the health and environment of specific populations.
