Environmental Justice Atlas
▻http://www.ecc-platform.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=5067:environmental-justice-atlas&
The recently launched Environmental Justice Atlas has been created by the Environmental Justice Organisations, Liabilities and Trade (EJOLT) initiative, which receives support from the European Commission under the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7). The mapillustrates conflict around commodities in order to draw end-consumers’ attention to the environmental and social impact of production chains. The information on conflict cases and community resistance is gathered from users. It can be easily filtered by commodity, company, country or type of conflict. Over a thousand cases have been reported to date.
About the #Atlas of Environmental Justice
Across the world communities are struggling to defend their earth, air water and resources and their livelihoods from damaging environmental impacts. Mining projects, mega dams, tree plantations, fracking, gas flaring, incinerators, etc … As resources needed to fuel our economy move through the commodity chain from extraction, processing and disposal, environmental impacts are externalized onto the most marginalized populations. But all this takes place far from the eyes of the consumers of the end-products. The EJ atlas aims to make these impacts more visible and to make the case for true corporate and state accountability for the injustices inflicted through their activities.
This Atlas collects stories from around the world of communities struggling for environmental justice. It attempts to serve as a virtual space for those working on EJ issues to get information, find other groups working on related issues, and increase the visibility of environmental conflicts.
