The paper "Environmental Ethics and Social Inequalities" examines the connection between the ethical dimension of environmental policies and the social inequalities that these policies may create or exacerbate, as well as the effects of climate change and its mitigation and adaptation measures, particularly for vulnerable social groups.
It outlines the framework of environmental policy on a global scale, with an emphasis on the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA) policies. For the EU, the strategies and policies developed for environmental protection and combating climate change are analyzed, such as the European Green Deal and national energy and climate plans in countries like Greece, France, Germany, Italy, and Poland. The climate policy of the USA and other northern countries is also examined, along with the concept of "Rights of Nature" at the international level.
The paper focuses on mitigation and adaptation strategies for addressing climate change. Nature-based solutions are presented, and two case studies are analyzed: the prospect of coal phase-out in Germany and the adaptation and mitigation of climate change in Lesvos Island. These studies highlight the challenges and benefits of transforming energy systems and implementing adaptive measures at the local level, as well as the significant role individuals and social groups play in mitigating climate change.
The impacts of social inequalities in the economic, social, and environmental sectors are explored, analyzing how more vulnerable social groups, workers in different sectors, and various geographical areas are affected by environmental changes and policies.
Finally, the paper focuses on how to manage inequalities and achieve environmental justice in urban areas, as well as the usage of GIS tools for identifying inequalities in the transportation sector. The stages for integrating climate change mitigation with adaptation to achieve social justice are analyzed, giving emphasis in the need of comprehensive approaches that consider both the environmental and social dimensions of inequalities.
