Sustainability and Justice

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainability is a normative science, founded on the principles of justice and fairness within and between generations. However, the justice principles of sustainability are often subsumed or ignored in a variety of applications and uses. This Special Issue will explore ideas and examples of how sustainability and justice can be mutually supportive, providing plausible and desirable pathways for designing and implementing sustainable solutions to pressing challenges. Papers are welcome that use theoretical, methodological, or case study approaches to explore the interlinkages between sustainability and justice. Below are some possible themes for the Special Issue, but other contributions will be considered:

• Environmental justice and sustainability
• Climate justice and global politics
• Indigenous rights and resource management
• Gender and sustainable development
• Using justice to scale (spatial and temporal) sustainability solutions
• Sustainability and vulnerability
• Social justice (race/ethnicity/class/immigration status) and sustainability
• Justice and global environmental change
• Global health, justice, and sustainability
• Infusing justice into resilience
• Ecological hazards and justice
