Quality of
environment determines the quality of life. The clean environment helps in
enriching the quality of life. In the past few decades’ awareness of the
damaging effects of environmental pollution on human beings and their quality
of life has increased dramatically. In the hustle-bustle of life, man has
almost forgotten nature and has become more and more modernized with the aid of
latest scientific and technological developments. At its core, environmental justice
is about incorporating environmental issues into the broader intellectual and
institutional framework of human rights and democratic accountability. The term
necessarily encompasses the widest possible definition of what is considered
“environmental” and is unrepentantly anthropocentric in its orientation placing
people, rather than flora and fauna, at the centre of a complex web of social,
economic, political, and environmental relationships. Most important, it
concerns itself primarily with the environmental injustices of these
relationships, and the ways and means of rectifying these wrongs and/or
avoiding them in the future.
