Distributional equity cannot be achieved without prior recognition and participation
Evidence
But there are two problems with this response. First, it simply assumes that (re)distributional equity can occur within existing social, economic, and institutional conditions. The point of including issues of recognition, participation, and capabilities in a larger theory of justice is that distributional equity simply cannot come about otherwise. Environmental justice groups will never have the opportunity to trade recognition for a better distribution of environmental bads; such a distribution will not come about without satisfaction of the broader elements of justice: recognition, participation in environmental decision-making, and the capabilities necessary for communities to flourish. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 267
