- Title
Environmental Principles and Environmental Justice.
- Authors
Pedersen, Ole W.
- Abstract
This article offers an analysis of the compatibility between the emerging concept of environmental justice and a number of more well established environmental principles. These include the precautionary principle, the polluter pays principle and sustainable development. The article argues that, for all three principles, a comparison with environmental justice gives rise to conflicts as well as conformity. The main reason for this is the ambiguity and inconsistency of environmental justice and the three principles.
