Movement definitions of justice often extend past distributive accounts

Evidence

How do movements for environmental justice define the concept of justice? Do different groups define the concept in varied ways? Have movement groups articulated notions of justice that go beyond traditional distributive conceptions, as many political theorists have in the past two decades? Is there a major difference between the definition of environmental justice (justice on environmental issues among the human population), and ecological justice (justice between humans and the rest of the natural world)? — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 10
