Global South environmental justice operates embedded in broader social-justice movements, not standalone

Evidence

In addition, one must always pay attention to localized discourses of social movements; while some groups may be dealing with issues of environmental contamination, they may articulate their concerns with localized discourses unrelated to those used by the US movement. Yet environmental justice as a phrase and a call does have resonance at the global level, and in the Global South; environmental concerns are often brought within the larger (or local) discourse of social justice—and the movements associated with such general calls for justice. Environmental justice is much more a component discourse in these social justice movements, or one of many organizing concerns, than it is a stand-alone movement of its own. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 282
