The Environmental Justice Organisations, Liabilities and
Trade (EJOLT) project launches today its Global Atlas of Environmental Justice,
a visually attractive and interactive online mapping platform detailing around
1000 environmental conflicts (and growing). It allows users to search and
filter across 100 fields and to browse by commodity, company, country and type
of conflict. With one click you can find a global snapshot of nuclear, waste or
water conflicts, or the places where communities have an issue with a
particular mining or chemical company. Click on any point to find the actors
and a conflict description with the outcome and sources. Maps you create using
the search and filter can be shared on your webpage or facebook. Featured maps
will focus on issues ranging from fracking to conflicts over
mega-infrastructure projects to maps on violent targeting of activists (and
more).
