Abstract:
While ecological crises are worsening before our eyes, existing models and frameworks do not connect clearly enough the degradation of natural systems to the differentiated responsibility and vulnerability of human groups. This article attempts to articulate human well-being and the preservation of the Biosphere, using a social-approach highlighting two critical nodes: the essential link between the health of ecosystems and the health of humans; the reciprocal relation between justice and sustainability.
