Gordon Walkera* and Malcolm Eamesb aDepartment of Geography, Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, Lancaster LA1 4YQ, UK; bBRESE, Brunel Business School, Uxbridge UB8 3PH, UKIn a previous special issue of Local Environment on environmental justice (EJ) in the UK (Volume 10, no. 4, 2005), the arrival of the terminology and ideas of EJ into Europe, and particularly into the UK, was marked and welcomed. Across a set of papers covering issues of flooding, pollution, traffic, waste, gender and deprivation, it was shown how established concepts and concerns of EJ were emerging in a new social, cultural and political context, integrating elements of the long established North American discourse into sometimes quite different environmental activist traditions and institutional settings. Two distinctive features emphasised in the 2005 special issue (Bulkeley and Walker 2005) were:(i) a radical broadening of the scope of the EJ frame to include far more than the place-based race and pollution agenda of the US tradition (as demonstrated in a wide ranging research and evidence review on environmental and social justice in the UK; Lucas et al. 2004) and (ii) the assimilation of at least some elements of this EJ frame into the concerns and work of policy communities, making strategic links with a range of existing sustainability, social exclusion and health inequalities agendas (Chalmers and Colvin 2005). Although the collection of papers concentrated on the work of geographers, it was clear that advancing this re-contextualised version of EJ would need to be a thoroughly transdisciplinary enterprise, bringing together the expertise of multiple academic disciplines, multiple non-governmental groups and multiple policy communities.
