Agyeman（2002，第33页）在三年前的文章中指出，“对于英国的大多数人来说，‘环境’和‘正义’这两个词并不容易放在一起”，尽管环境运动中出现了一些新的举措，将这个问题提上了政治议程，低收入群体也有污染问题和燃料贫困的经历。《地方环境》的这期特刊标志着这一概念在英国在短时间内取得了多大的进展：环境公平和正义的概念从主流环境议程之外，现在在政府政策中占据了中心地位，并受到越来越多的研究审查。借鉴文件首次在一个专门的会议上介绍了环境正义的规划和环境研究小组的皇家地理学会/研究所的英国地理学家在国际地理大会，在格拉斯哥于2004年8月举行，这卷提供了一个机会，探讨和反思环境正义的关注在英国的最新发展。环境正义的概念最初是通过环境正义运动的出现而普及和政治化的，在美国，对声称的环境不公正的政治和法律的辩护的空间越来越大。在英国，这一概念走上了一条不同的道路，越来越多地被视为协调可持续发展议程与社会正义议程的一种手段。尽管有很多吹嘘的“三脚凳”方法--需要平衡当前和当地环境的环境、经济和社会因素，第10卷，第4期，第329-332页，2005年8月
Writing just three years ago, Agyeman (2002, p. 33) noted that, ‘to most in the UK, the words “environmental” and “justice” do not sit easily together’, despite the presence of some nascent moves within the environmental movement to raise the issue on the political agenda, and the experience of low income groups with pollution problems and fuel poverty. This special issue of Local Environment is a marker of how much progress the concept has made in the UK in a short space of time: from being outside mainstream environmental agendas, concepts of environmental equity and justice now occupy a central position in Government policy and have been the subject to growing research scrutiny. Drawing on papers first presented in a dedicated session on environmental justice organised by the Planning and Environment Research Group of the Royal Geographical Society/Institute of British Geographers at the International Geographical Congress, held in Glasgow in August 2004, this volume provides an opportunity to explore and reflect upon the recent development of environmental justice concerns in the UK. The concept of environmental justice was first popularised and politicised by the emergence of the environmental justice movement, and the increasing space for political and legal contestation of claimed environmental injustices, in the US. In the UK, the concept has taken a different path, increasingly seen as a means of reconciling the sustainable development agenda with that of social justice. Despite the much vaunted ‘three-legged stool’ approach—the need to balance environmental, economic and social factors for current and Local Environment Vol. 10, No. 4, 329–332, August 2005
