ABSTRACT
Environmental protection is of worldwide concern. This chapter argues for a holistic approach – called ‘Green Justice’ – towards concerns about environmental protection, preservation and sustainable development. It uses this unifying term to combine existing discourses within ‘earth justice and jurisprudence’, ‘eco justice’, ‘environmental justice’, ‘ecological justice’ and species justice’ into one approach which, none the less, recognises multiple theoretical and intellectual trajectories. Each of the perspectives constitutive of ‘Green Justice’ offer varying philosophical and practical positions that seek to redress the environmental harms associated with any corporate and state actions that threaten human and non-human survival. The chapter outlines and discusses these various positions.
