Global environmental justice movements target misrecognition, exclusion, and incapacity alongside inequity

Evidence

Simply put, equity is not the only issue of justice addressed by various groups and movements identifying with, and articulating, a call for environmental justice. Other fundamental critiques apparent in the literature of global movements invoking environmental justice include the relationship between social, cultural, and ecological misrecognition and community devastation, the lack of democratic participation in the construction and ongoing processes of governing institutions, and the debilitation of many individual and community capacities necessary for healthy functioning. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 298
