Can we adopt human rights concepts, long used to frame problems of social justice, to define environmental justice? Can existing social institutions provide models and tools for achieving environmental justice? This volume views old models of agency through new lenses and examines how several social institutions, such as law, education and health care, address specific environmental problems. The volume presents arguments for human obligations towards the environment and future generations. Scholars assess the limitations of existing models and others point to recent failures in protecting the interests of indigenous groups or species. And on a hopeful note, examples are given of institutions that promise some success in effecting environmental goals. As this discussion of citizenship suggests, much like environmental justice, a global context both in definition and application is required.

Book excerpt: In light of the realisation that environmental justice must, as far as is possible, incorporate the needs of the global citizenship, this volume considers a range of the specific and broad issues which have emerged in this regard. Discussion of such issues however has the potential to become inherently negative, culminating in suggestions that the only approach to preventing environmental harms is to restrict, prohibit and divest from established practice. Such suggestions however inevitably result in contention between parties on either side of the debate regarding the implementation of any such measures. As such the volume considers both challenges and opportunities for the development of measures to secure environmental justice for a diverse global citizenship. This is achieved through three broad areas of discussion, the philosophical foundations of securing environmental justice, how education might secure it for the future and the lessons from examples of success in doing so.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Misiaszek examines the (dis)connection between critical global citizenship education models and ecopedagogy which is grounded in Paulo Freire’s pedagogy. Exploring how concepts of citizenship are affected by globalization, this book argues that environmental pedagogues must teach critical environmental literacies in order for students to understand global environmental issues through the world’s diverse perspectives. Misiaszek analyses the ways environmental pedagogies can use aspects of critical global citizenship education to better understand how environmental issues are contextually experienced and understood by societies locally and globally through issues of globalization, colonialism, socio-economics, gender, race, ethnicities, nationalities, indigenous issues, and spiritualties.
