Abstract
Informed by the transdisciplinary research in social and environmental justice, Race and
Environmental Justice in the Era of Climate Change and COVID-19 is both a scholarly
contribution to the ongoing discourse and a form of activism for environmental, climate, and
health justice. Using race and indigeneity as an analytical lens, the book explores how justice
in the era of climate change and COVID-19 is envisioned, depicted, and achieved. While this
book largely focuses on humans and environments, its explorations of (in)justice help not
only to illustrate the wide health and safety gap between individuals, communities, and even
nations living under different environmental conditions, but also to move beyond the human
toward justice for all. Race and Environmental Justice in the Era of Climate Change and
COVID-19 is a scholarly endeavor to foreground the voices from world communities,
provide solutions to environmental and health crises, and restore justice for all.
