Description

Environmental Justice: Law, Policy & Regulation 4th Edition Clifford Villa ISBN 9781531033538

Environmental Justice: Law, Policy & Regulation examines the theory and practice surrounding the unequal environmental burdens borne by certain communities and places. Drawing on decades of community-based experience, interdisciplinary research, and legal frameworks grounded in environmental and civil rights law, the book analyzes the wide range of environmental risks facing vulnerable populations, including communities of color; low-income, immigrant, and Indigenous communities; and women, children, and older adults.

The fourth edition updates the materials to address pressing contemporary environmental justice issues. These include exposure to hazardous air pollutants in “Cancer Alley,” contaminated lands stretching from the Arctic to the Southwest, and drinking water crises in Flint, Michigan, and Jackson, Mississippi. The text also explores the impacts of hurricanes, wildfires, and other climate-driven disasters across the United States, the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and recent policy innovations aimed at advancing environmental justice during the Biden administration, alongside the challenges and opportunities for continued progress during the second Trump administration.

This edition introduces a new chapter on international environmental justice and expands coverage of cumulative impacts, state and local initiatives, climate justice, disaster justice, and food justice. Throughout, the book focuses on identifying contemporary challenges while highlighting the legal and policy tools available to support the ongoing pursuit of environmental justice.
