Environmental justice is an effort that aims to understand how several human actions (or inaction) impacting the environment also disproportionately affect marginalised and economically disadvantaged people across the world. For instance, least developed countries may contribute the least to pollution and yet people in those regions could be more affected by pollution than developed countries. Such countries may often even find themselves dealing with floods, drought the lack of access to clean water, healthy food, medical care, or means to be compensated during crises. So, in simple terms, environmental justice can be defined as the idea that everyone deserves to live healthy on a clean Earth.
