环境正义通常被定义为环境善与恶的分配（或分配不均）。活动家和学者也关注文化承认和政治参与问题。本文提出了一种基于能力的环境正义观。我们认为，土著社区提出的环境挑战表明了一个广泛的，复杂的环境正义的概念集中在一系列的能力和基本功能，在个人和社区层面。我们开始与一个基于能力的方法来理解环境正义的理论依据。然后，我们提供了两个深入的案例研究，从美国和智利，以说明我们的论点，土著环境正义的斗争清楚地阐明了社区的能力和功能的主题，突出了社会和文化的复制的重要性。
Environmental justice is often defined in terms of the distribution (or maldistribution) of environmental goods and bads. Activists and scholars have also focused on issues of cultural recognition and political participation. This article posits a capabilities-based conception of environmental justice. We argue that environmental challenges raised by indigenous communities demonstrate a broad, complex conception of environmental justice focused on a range of capabilities and basic functionings, at both the individual and community levels. We begin with a theoretical justification for a capabilities-based approach to understanding environmental justice. We then offer two in-depth case studies from the US and Chile, to illustrate our argument that indigenous environmental justice struggles clearly articulate themes of community capabilities and functioning, highlighting the importance of social and cultural reproduction.
