Environmental Equity and Justice

Environmental justice is the equity and neutrality in the full exercise of environmental human rights, regardless of the ethnic, socio-economic, or geographical background of people.
In a country marked by its geographical and cultural diversity, we seek to ensure all people may have equal access to a healthy and safe environment, and to participate in the processes that define the prospect of sustainable development. Our work is focused on investigating, analyzing, and recommending improvements to the management of the environmental justice system, and to participate and contribute in public actions to defend our rights.
