From environmentalism to Global Justice?

Abstract

The rise of the ideal of global justice as a basis for the mobilization of protest and NGO activity raises interesting questions about the future of the environmental movement. A number of prominent environmental movement organizations, including Friends of the Earth and, to some extent, the WWF, have broadened their agenda to include issues of global social justice, and global environmental issues such as climate change have become part of the agenda of campaigners for global justice. Some observers worry that such developments imply a loss of focus for the environmental movement and the possibility that it will simply be subsumed by an emergent global justice movement. Papers for this panel might consider any of these issues, on a broadly comparative, global or theoretical level, or by examining the interactions between environmentalism and global justice agenda at national level or within national environmental movement organizations.
