Justice dimensions are inseparable and mutually reinforcing, not competing alternatives.

Evidence

Yet we also see that these various forms of injustice are intricately linked, and must be addressed simultaneously. It may be the case that improved participatory mechanisms can help meliorate other forms of injustice; but those forms of injustice must be addressed in order to improve participation. Justice, then, requires not just an understanding of unjust distribution, limited capabilities, and a lack of recognition, but, importantly, the way they are tied together in political and social processes. These notions and experiences of injustice are not competing notions, nor are they contradictory or antithetical. Inequitable distribution, a lack of recognition, destruction of capabilities, and limited participation all work to produce injustice, and claims for justice are integrated into a comprehensive political project in the calls for environmental justice at a global level. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 340
