Mapping Environmental Justice (Belgium)

[Brussels, Belgium, 19 Mar] The objective of the event is to bring attention to the increasing number of environmental conflicts in the world. More scarcity of resources, more aggressive ways of exploitation and practices like land grabbing are affecting local communities worldwide. During this event, we will launch the Atlas of Environmental Justice as part of the EEB’s engagement in the EJOLT project. This map will serve as a database. It aims to cover ecological distribution conflicts around the world and it will serve as communication tool among Environmental Justice Organisations and scientists working on related issues. It will also help to better understand what the determinants of these conflicts are, who the main actors are and bring attention to the struggles for justice.
