环境正义既是政治机会、动员和行动的词汇，也是指导公共决策的政策原则。它最初出现在美国，最近在英国，作为一个新的词汇支持社区组织反对环境不公正的行动。然而，随着环境正义讨论的成熟，越来越明显的是，它应该在更广泛的可持续发展和社会包容议程中发挥作用。可持续发展和环境正义之间的联系越来越清晰，更广泛地了解在英国的非政府组织和政府一样，这是这两个话语之间的潜在协同作用，这是本文的重点。本文认为，“公正的可持续性”的概念提供了一个话语的政策制定者和活动家，它汇集了环境正义和可持续发展的关键方面。
Environmental justice is both a vocabulary for political opportunity, mobilization and action, and a policy principle to guide public decision making. It emerged initially in the US, and more recently in the UK, as a new vocabulary underpinning action by community organizations campaigning against environmental injustices. However, as the environmental justice discourse has matured, it has become increasingly evident that it should play a role in the wider agendas for sustainable development and social inclusion. The links between sustainability and environmental justice are becoming clearer and more widely understood in the UK by NGOs and government alike, and it is the potential synergy between these two discourses which is the focus of this paper. This paper argues that the concept of 'just sustainability' provides a discourse for policy-makers and activists, which brings together the key dimensions of both environmental justice and sustainable development.
