Part of the series proposed by the Laboratoire d'excellence Futurs Urbains, this book devoted to environmental justice combines the analyses of Lydie Laigle and Sophie Moreau on the circulation and appropriation of this notion in various geographical settings: United States, France, Madagascar. Through its different interpretations, environmental justice questions the future of societies' relationships with the environment in a context of environmental crisis and globalization. It raises the question of social inequalities in the face of the environment and the role played by institutions and citizen mobilizations in recognizing injustices with regard to environmental deterioration. This book explores the democratic challenges raised by these injustices.
Lydie Laigle is a sociologist, research director at the CSTB (Scientific and Technical Center for Building), and a professor at the École des Ponts ParisTech. Her research initially focused on the sustainable development trajectories of European cities and environmental inequalities.
Sophie Moreau is a geographer and lecturer at the ACP (Comparative Analysis of Power) laboratory at the University of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée. Her research has led her from analyzing the relationships between peasant societies and biodiversity in Madagascar to environmental justice.
