Environmental Justice

Environmental Justice is growing in importance on the discourse of the Israeli environmental movement. The concept is a simple one: we are all potential casualties of environmental hazards, but not all are equally vulnerable. Life and Environment has initiated the Environmental Justice Committee, comprised of more than thirty social and environmental organizations: Jewish and Arab, secular and religious, central and peripherally located. The committee issues an Annual (In)Justice Report, that focuses on a thorough mapping of central themes that have overlapping relevance to environmental and social issues. The publication of the report was accompanied by several public discussions including in the Knesset and a broad media campaign.
