The environment and its sustainability are intricately connected to global warming, climate change, and the loss of biodiversity. A general scientific consensus holds that human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, agricultural practices, land-use changes, and pollution, are the primary drivers of long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns, both locally and globally. This raises significant questions of environmental justice, as the threat posed by anthropogenic climate change poses a threat to our planet. Environmental justice focuses on environmental sustainability and the equitable treatment and involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes, and educational levels in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental programs, laws, rules, and policies. The book explores various aspects of environmental justice, including the population and consumption debate regarding resource depletion and biodiversity loss, the challenges of global environmental pollution control, and the potential solutions offered by African and Native American philosophies and worldviews. It delves into the tragedy of the commons and the implications of nation-states' policing of environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
