abstract: Cities are hubs for economic and social development, but they are increasingly becoming hotspots of environmental problems and socio-economic inequalities. Because cities result from complex interactions among ecological, social and economic factors, environmental problems and socio-economic inequalities are often spatially interconnected, generating emergent environmental inequity issues due to the unfair distribution of environmental quality among socioeconomic groups. Since urban environmental quality is tightly related to the capacity of urban landscapes to provide ecosystem services, optimizing the allocation of ecosystem services within cities is a main goal for moving towards more equitable and sustainable cities. Nevertheless, we often lack the empirical data and specific methods for planning urban landscapes to optimize the provision of ecosystem services. Therefore, the development of knowledge and methods to optimize the provision of ecosystem services is essential for tackling urban environmental problems, reducing environmental inequities, and promoting sustainable cities. The main goal of this dissertation is to generate actionable knowledge for helping decision-makers to optimize the allocation of urban vegetation for reducing environmental inequities through the provision of ecosystem services. The research uses the city of Santiago de Chile as a case study from a Latin-American city. To achieve this goal, I framed my dissertation in four linked research chapters, each of them providing methodological approaches to help link environmental inequity problems with the development of urban planning interventions promoting an equitable provision of urban ecosystem services. These chapters are specifically aimed at providing actionable knowledge for: (1) Identifying the level, distribution, and spatial scales at which environmental inequities are more relevant; (2) Identifying the areas and administrative units where environmental inequities interventions should be prioritized; (3) Identifying optimal areas to allocate vegetation for increasing the provision of urban ecosystem services; (4) Evaluating the role that planned urban vegetation may have in the long-term provision of ecosystem services by natural remnants within the urban landscape. Thus, this dissertation contributes to urban sustainability science by proposing methods and frameworks to address urban environmental inequities through the provision of ecosystem services, but it also provides place-based information that can be readily used for planning urban vegetation in Santiago. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Sustainability 2017

No. of bitstreams: 1 ArquivoTotal.pdf: 2546280 bytes, checksum: 2d9b81564057e39f98e52fb63c67e389 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-03-18 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The research analyzed the performance of the Judiciary Power through the exam of the current judicial decisions of public civil action proposed by the Federal Public prosecution of the of Paraíba and Amazon before an environmental damage. The focus of it analyzes is the human and environmental relationship with emphasis in the environmental subject not just in preservation terms, but distribution and justice. For so much, the research dove in the new universe of the political ecology and of the movement for environmental justice that you relate environmental problems and social inequalities as originated of a model of unjust development, where the negative environmental damages relapse, in his majority, for the poorest populations and discriminated. This environmental focus differs of the traditional ecological studies about shortage and preservation of natural resources, there be to analyze the environment and the social actors jointly. He took place, in the first chapter, a literature revision on the environment and the environmental damage, the origin of the movement for environmental justice, through authors of the field of the right, environmental sociology, political ecology and ecological economy, and later the relationship of the movement with the development of a nation. In a second moment, it was studied the environmental conflicts as form of environmental injustice, through the approach of the social sciences, being outstanding the concept, the types of conflicts, the currents that look for solutions for the conflicts and the methodological bases in political ecology for the environmental conflicts. In the third chapter the research was accomplished, through the analysis of public civil actions environmental proposed by the Public prosecution service of the state of Paraíba and Amazon, being the results distributed in tables and graphs that indicate that the state in the state of Paraíba there are still few environmental actions when compared with Amazon; that the more predominant environmental conflict is the space that it elapses of the human action; the larger time of the conflicts is the ones that elapse of territorial disputes and the ones that involve great enterprises; the request of the Public prosecution service and the judicial decision tend her an obligation of to do or not to do to repair the damage environmental with condemnation in money and the Judiciary Power of the state of Amazon related environmental degradation and risks to the human beings in most of their actions, taking communion with the premises of the movement for environmental justice and political ecology that analyze the environment and populations for the consequences. / A pesquisa analisou a atuação do Poder Judiciário através do exame das decisões judiciais decorrentes de ação civil pública proposta pelo Ministério Público Federal do Estado da Paraíba e Amazonas diante de um dano ambiental. O foco de analise é a relação humana e ambiental com ênfase na questão ambiental não apenas em termos de preservação, mas distribuição e justiça. Para tanto, a pesquisa mergulhou no novo universo da ecologia política e do movimento por justiça ambiental que relacionam problemas ambientais e desigualdades sociais como originadas de um modelo de desenvolvimento injusto, onde os danos ambientais negativos recaem, em sua maioria, para as populações mais pobres e discriminadas. Este enfoque ambiental diferencia-se dos tradicionais estudos ecológicos sobre escassez e preservação de recursos naturais, haja analisar o meio ambiente e os atores sociais conjuntamente. Realizou-se, no primeiro capítulo, uma revisão de literatura sobre o meio ambiente e o dano ambiental, a origem do movimento por justiça ambiental, através de autores do campo do direito, sociologia ambiental, ecologia política e economia ecológica, e posteriormente a relação do movimento com o desenvolvimento de uma nação. Em um segundo momento, estudou-se os conflitos ambientais como forma de injustiça socioambiental, através da abordagem das ciências sociais, sendo destacado o conceito, os tipos de conflitos, as correntes que buscam soluções para os conflitos e as bases metodológicas em ecologia política para os conflitos ambientais. No terceiro capítulo foi realizada a pesquisa propriamente dita, através da análise de ações civis públicas ambientais propostas pelo Ministério Público Federal do Estado da Paraíba e Amazonas, sendo os resultados distribuídos em tabelas e gráficos que indicam que o estado no Estado da Paraíba ainda há poucas ações ambientais quando comparado com o Amazonas; que o conflito ambiental mais predominante é o espacial que decorre da ação humana; o tempo maior dos conflitos são os que decorrem de disputas territoriais e os que envolvem grandes empreendimentos; o pedido do Ministério Público e a decisão judicial tendem a uma obrigação de fazer ou não fazer para reparar o dano ambiental cumulada com condenação em dinheiro e o Poder Judiciário do Estado do Amazonas relacionou degradação ambiental e riscos aos seres humanos na maioria de suas ações, comungando com as premissas do movimento por justiça ambiental e ecologia política que analisam o meio ambiente e suas consequências para as populações.

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / A presente dissertação tem por objetivo analisar a eficácia social e ambiental do plano diretor participativo conjuntamente com as normas de direito ambiental, definindo, para tanto, o princípio de justiça social e ambiental como requisito obrigatório destes instrumentos. Demonstra-se, a partir do levantamento de dados referentes às condições ambientais nas cidades brasileiras, a ruptura entre os temas urbano e ambiental, tanto na prática legislativa, como na econômica. É realizada uma crítica ao modelo capitalista de apropriação do solo urbano, paradoxal e incompatível com o pleno desenvolvimento das funções sociais e ambientais da cidade. Conclui-se que a inserção do princípio de justiça social e ambiental, enquanto diretriz obrigatória para plano diretor e legislação ambiental, permitirá uma maior garantia do pleno desenvolvimento das funções sociais e ambientais da cidade. / The aim of this paper is to analyze the social and environmental effectiveness of the master plan within the norms of environmental legislation, and therefore, defining the principle of social and environmental justice as an obligatory requirement of these instruments. The conflict between the urban and environmental themes is demonstrated in both legislative and economical practice, by surveying data on the environmental conditions in the Brazilian cities. A criticism is made of the capitalist system of appropriation of urban territory, which is paradoxical and incompatible with the full development of the social and environmental functions of the city. It is concluded that the insertion of the principle of social and environmental justice as a compulsory framework the master plan and environmental legislation, will make full development of the social and environmental functions of the city more likely.

This paper proposes a situated reflection on the political potential of the concept of those environmentally affected, in a framework of fight for rights, in order to promote a dense conceptualization, according to the situations of suffering and violations suffered by victims of environmental pollution. First we describe an experience rich in examples, highlighting the institutional set of the injustices andthose devices of mis-recognition. Also we describe the communities formed by and for the victims. Secondly, we make a review of some contexts of use of the notion of environmental affected that can contribute to strength —in the particular case analyzed and by extension, to others— for a public and political self-understanding towards effective recognition. / Este trabajo propone una reflexión situada sobre la potencialidad política de la noción de afectados ambientales en un marco de lucha por los derechos, para promover una conceptualización densa y acorde con la situaciones de padecimiento y vulneración de derechos que padecen las víctimas de la contaminación ambiental. Primero, describimos una experiencia fecunda en ejemplos, destacando la trama institucional de la injusticia recorrida por los afectados y los dispositivos de denegación de reconocimiento, así como las comunidades formadas por y para las víctimas. Segundo, realizamos un repaso de algunos contextos de uso de la noción de afectados ambientales que pueden contribuir a fortalecer —en el caso particular analizado y, por extensión, en otros— una autocomprensión público- política para el efectivo reconocimiento.

abstract: Principles of climate mitigation in environmental ethics often draw on either considerations of fairness and forward-looking concerns, or on justice and backward-looking concerns. That is, according to some theorists, considerations of the current distribution of climate benefits and burdens are foremost, while others take repairing historic wrongs as paramount. Some theorists integrate considerations of fairness and justice to formulate hybrid climate principles. Such an integrative approach is promising particularly in the context of environmental harm to indigenous subsistence peoples, who are among those suffering the most from climate change. I argue that existing integrative climate principles tend not to sufficiently emphasize considerations of backward-looking justice. This is a problem for indigenous peoples seeking reparations for environmental harm and violations of their human rights. Specifically, indigenous people in the Arctic suffer a cultural harm from climate change as they lose their land, and their way of life, to erosion, cementing their status as climate refugees. I argue that the current climate situation facing Native Arctic people is unfair according to Rawls' second principle of justice. In addition, the situation is unjust as indigenous people suffer from emissions by others and few attempts are made for reparations. Thus, Rawlsian fairness combined with reparative justice provide a befitting theoretical framework. I conclude that an acceptable climate principle will adequately integrate considerations of both fairness and justice, both forward-looking and backward-looking considerations. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. Philosophy 2014

This paper analyzes heath risk and how it is communicated to, and understood within, a predominantly African American neighborhood in central Florida. Residents accuse the county department of public works of purposeful contamination and discrimination over a period of 30 years. I raise the questions of how risk is perceived and what roles race or class may play. I also developed a model for risk communication that includes all stakeholders. Finally, I expand the conversation of health disparities to include issues of widening gaps in perceptions of health. This was examined by looking at the following: 1. The lack of documentation into the subjectivity of the health risk assessment process - i.e. the critique of science 2. The differing modes for creating, communicating, and receiving risk in which the resident's perspective is not valued - i.e. the critique of power 3. The impact of race and class on furthering inequities and disparities in the environmental health risks message - i.e. the critique of policy. Underlining Key Factors: 1. The residents of Mitchell Heights (emic) perceive the contamination at the former Hernando County Department of Public Works site differently than the experts/officials (etic). 2. Race and class are factors in both the perception of risk and the communication of risk for the residents and the experts. 3. Policy concerning the determination and subsequent communication of risk is primarily concerning with the perspective of scientific data. Recommendations: 1. As it relates to assessing environmental risks, there needs to be a development of a more holistic set of methodologies that incorporate diverse perspectives in a bi-directional knowledge exchange. This should allow for acceptable risk to be understood as co-created through negotiation and compromise between the measured and lived experiences. Ethnographic methods should partner with epidemiology and environmental sciences. 2. Once these mixed-method, holistic methodologies are field-tested, they need to be adopted as formal procedure by agencies responsible for the analysis and communication of risks. Risk should include the technical and the relational. 3. Policymakers must widen their understanding of what constitutes "policy relevant knowledge." In addition, policies targeted at eliminating health disparities and inequalities need to value the broad differences the often exist in perceiving "health."

Fundamentada em observações empíricas e na abordagem da pesquisa qualitativa, perscrutou saberes e fazeres intrínsecos a dois projetos de Educação Ambiental, elaborados e implementados por duas escolas estaduais de Ensino Médio jurisdicionadas à Superintendência Regional de Ensino de Juiz de Fora, órgão institucional da Secretaria de Estado de Educação de Minas Gerais. A análise realizada, de caráter interpretativo, ao se apropriar do enredo teórico-metodológico de um estudo de caso múltiplo e dos pressupostos da Educação Ambiental Crítica, objetivou compreender em que medida os projetos de Educação Ambiental complexificam, doravante suas respectivas realidades contextuais, injustiças e conflitos socioambientais. As inferências resultantes, em virtude da ênfase atribuída pelos respectivos projetos a questões puramente ecológicas, indicaram a preponderância de perspectivas conservacionistas e pragmáticas de Educação Ambiental nos contextos educativos. Estas, ao invisibilizarem as relações sociais que se constituem e, ao mesmo tempo, são constituídas a partir da confluência existente entre o modo de organização da sociedade capitalista e a natureza, impossibilitam a problematização de injustiças e conflitos socioambientais no âmago de movimentos que tencionam, tão somente, a reprodução do status quo de classes sociais privilegiadas política e economicamente. No sentido de romper com esta tendência histórica, a pesquisa culminou com a proposição de uma ação educacional que vislumbra a constituição de redes de aprendizagem como estratégia para a construção coletiva de projetos socioambientais, a serem implementados em ambientes socioeducativos, a partir da ressignificação de saberes e fazeres relacionados à Educação Ambiental. / The present dissertation is the result of the Master in Management and Evaluation of Public Education, of the Stricto Sensu Professional Postgraduate Program of the Faculty of Education, Federal University of Juiz de Fora. Based on empirical observations and the approach to qualitative research, it explored knowledges and practices intrinsic to two Environmental Education projects, elaborated and implemented by two state high-school schools, which were adjudicated to the Regional Superintendence of Education of Juiz de Fora, an institutional body of the Secretary of State of Education of Minas Gerais. The interpretive analysis, when appropriating the theoretical-methodological plot of a multiple case study and the assumptions of Critical Environmental Education, aimed to understand what extent the Environmental Education projects, henceforth, complexify their respective contextual realities, injustices and social and environmental conflicts. The resulting inferences, due to the emphasis given by the respective projects to purely ecological issues, indicated the preponderance of conservationist and pragmatic perspectives of Environmental Education in educational contexts. These, by making invisible the social relations that are constituted and at the same time are constituted from the confluence between the mode of organization of capitalist society and nature, make it impossible to problematize social and environmental injustices and conflicts at the heart of the movements that they intend, only, the reproduction of the status quo of socially and politically privileged social classes. In order to break with this historical trend, the research culminated in the proposition of an educational action that envisages the formation of learning networks as a strategy for the collective construction of socio-environmental projects, to be implemented in socio-educational environments, based on the re-signification of knowledge and actions related to Environmental Education.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Esta dissertaÃÃo mostrarà aspectos relevantes sobre a real situaÃÃo na Ãrea das barracas da Praia do Futuro, especialmente no tocante aos aspectos referentes à funÃÃo socioambiental da propriedade urbana e da justiÃa ambiental. O trabalho ora exposto tambÃm pretende fazer uma exposiÃÃo dos motivos pelos quais os barraqueiros encontram-se irregulares perante à UniÃo, fato este que ensejou uma AÃÃo civil PÃblica em 2005, contando como autores o MinistÃrio PÃblico Federal, a UniÃo e, posteriormente, o prÃprio MunicÃpio de Fortaleza, visto que vÃrios deles encontram-se, muito possivelmente, em faixa de praia, sendo esta um bem de uso comum do povo, de propriedade da UniÃo e no qual à proibida edificaÃÃes. Os terrenos de marinha e a linha de preamar tambÃm sÃo objetos de discÃrdia, especialmente entre os membros do judiciÃrio, tendo como explicaÃÃo a prÃpria legislaÃÃo jà muito ultrapassada e antiga, fato este que prejudica medidas judiciais rÃpidas e consistentes. A funÃÃo socioambiental da propriedade urbana à um dos principais pontos de explanaÃÃo no decorrer desta dissertaÃÃo, pois a real proprietÃria do local onde estÃo Ãs barracas à da UniÃo e a maioria dos barraqueiros, sem autorizaÃÃo, construiu e ampliou seus negÃcios, impedindo o uso de todos da Ãrea da praia, alÃm de causar ainda mais danos ambientais para a regiÃo, o que fere nÃo somente o meio ambiente natural, como tambÃm a dignidade dos banhistas que nÃo possuem o capital suficiente para se utilizarem dos produtos fornecidos pelas barracas. Outro ponto de grande importÃncia à o da justiÃa ambiental, ou seja, os danos ambientais advindos dos resÃduos das barracas deveriam ser compartilhados por todos, especialmente o poluidor (princÃpio do poluidor-pagador), mas, infelizmente, nÃo existe a chamada equidade ambiental no local. / This dissertation will explain relevant aspects about the real situation of the tents in the area of Praia do Futuro, especially about the social and environment function of urban property and the environmental justice. The paper also exposed now intends to make a exposition of the reasons for which are irregular the ownerâs of the tents before the Union, a fact which led to a Public civil Action in 2005, as the authors tell the Federal Public Ministry, the Union and, later, the Municipality itself Fortaleza, since several of them are mostly possible in the strip of beach, which is an asset of common use of Federal property and buildings is prohibited. The tide lands and high tide line are also objects of contention, especially among members of the judiciary, with the explanation of the legislation itself already very outdated and old, a fact tent undermines legal action fast and consistent. The role of social and environmental urban property is one of the main points of explanation in the course of this work, because the real owner of the place where the tents are is from the Union and most of the ownerâs of the tents, without authorization, builded and expanded their businesses, preventing the use of all of the area beach, apart from causing further environmental damage to the region, which hurts not only the natural environment, but also the dignity of bathers who do not have enough capital to use the products provided by the tents. Another point of great importance is the environmental justice, or environmental damage arising out of the tents of waste should be shared by all, especially the polluter (the principle of polluter pays), but unfortunately, there is so-called equity in environment site.

Porém, o modelo que se tornou dominante parte de uma visão de natureza oriunda da dicotomia entre sociedade e meio ambiente. Os processos de criação de áreas naturais protegidas no mundo, especialmente a partir do final do século XIX, têm ocasionado inúmeros conflitos entre os diferentes sujeitos que possuem visões e interesses diversos sobre a natureza e seus recursos, além de gerar situações de injustiças ambientais às populações impactadas pela criação desses espaços. Dessa forma, a presente pesquisa buscou realizar uma análise sobre a relação entre as áreas naturais protegidas, em especial a tipologia Unidade de Conservação, e a ocorrência de conflitos socioambientais e de injustiça ambiental. Tomando como ferramenta de análise a categoria geográfica do território, além das perspectivas críticas da Ecologia Política, da Justiça Ambiental e do Ecossocialismo, buscou-se realizar um estudo de caso da comunidade do Patrimônio da Penha, situada a cerca de um quilômetro do Parque Nacional do Caparaó, no município de Divino de São Lourenço – ES. Através da realização de revisão bibliográfica e, também, de observações e entrevistas com os moradores locais e os funcionários do parque, buscou-se averiguar as diferentes ocorrências de conflitos socioambientais, além de situações de injustiça ambiental que acometem as populações residentes no Patrimônio. Evidenciou-se, assim, que os conflitos socioambientais podem se manifestar em diferentes categorias e intensidades. Em relação ao Patrimônio da Penha, foi possível perceber que ocorrem os chamados conflitos socioambientais latentes, sendo estes caracterizados como situações em que os embates são, por vezes, camuflados pelos mecanismos sociopolíticos que vigoram sobre os territórios, não sendo notados pelos sujeitos envolvidos nos embates como situações de conflito. Notou-se, ainda, que estes conflitos foram diretamente influenciados pela presença do ParNa Caparaó na região, tendo o mesmo influenciado também nas situações de injustiça ambiental que puderam ser observadas sobre esse espaço. / Protected areas are one of the most common environmental policies around the world. Nevertheless, this model has been proposed based on a dichotomy between society and the environment. The definition of protected areas, particularly after the XIXth century, has resulted in various conflicts among agents with divergent understanding on nature and interests on natural resources. Moreover, such processes have also created situations of environmental injustice, since they prevent the access of specific social groups to resources that are crucial for their survival. Along these lines, this research aimed at analysing the relationship between protected areas, particularly Conservation Areas, socio-environmental conflicts and environmental injustices. Using the geographic category territory, and adopting critical perspectives such as Political Ecology, Environmental Justice and Ecosocialism, this case study evaluates the relationships between various actors around the Caparaó National Park, in Divino de São Lourenço municipality, Espírito Santo state. Using literature review, direct observation and interviews, the research evaluates the characteristics of the various socioenvironmental conflicts and environmental injustice situations that take place in that locality. During the research, it was possible to verify that socioenvironmental conflicts happen in various categories and intensity. Patrimônio da Penha is characterised by latent socioenvironmental conflicts, which are described as situations where disputes are masked by socio-political processes and not perceived by social agents. Additionally, it was noted that most of these conflicts have been directly influenced by the Caparaó National Park, as well as, diferent environmental injustice situations.

Com um cultivo de crescimento rápido, grande capacidade de adaptação às diversas condições de clima e solo, e significativo potencial de aproveitamento, rapidamente tal prática conquistou espaço no mercado. Entretanto, devido aos possíveis impactos ambientais e processos conflitivos que a mesma tem ocasionado, como a destruição acelerada dos ecossistemas e a desterritorialização de sujeitos, as monoculturas de eucalipto se tornaram uma ameaça aos recursos naturais e aos povos do campo. Diante deste contexto de desigualdades socioambientais, o objetivo desta pesquisa é compreender sentidos de educadores/as sobre problemas/conflitos/injustiças ambientais decorrentes da monocultura de eucalipto no município de Lima Duarte-MG, e suas implicações à educação. Para compreensão da problemática ambiental propõem-se um diálogo entre a Educação Ambiental e a Educação do Campo, com base em uma reflexão sobre o modelo hegemônico capitalista, que é responsável por inúmeros processos de injustiças ambientais. A fim de apreender os sentidos sobre a problemática ambiental, utiliza-se a Análise Crítica do Discurso como referencial teórico e metodológico de pesquisa. Os discursos dos educadores/as entrevistados/as evidenciaram a monocultura como um problema ambiental local, identificando processos de desigualdades socioambientais decorrentes da prática. Houve um predomínio das perspectivas ambientais conservacionista e pragmática, que pode estar relacionado com discursos hegemônicos que circulam na mídia e no poder público, como os do agronegócio. Marcas de hibridização discursiva acerca de processos riscos/danos/injustiças socioambientais, com invisibilização de processos de injustiças e de enfrentamentos locais foram identificadas. Ao direcionarem o olhar para o currículo e suas práticas educativas os discursos dos/as educadores/as elucidaram um distanciamento do contexto local, com invisibilização dos processos de problemas/conflitos/ injustiças ambientais locais, e as tensões existentes na produção e reprodução de outras pedagogias frente às pedagogias hegemônicas. Assim, a pesquisa permitiu compreender como as injustiças ambientais locais vêm sendo pensadas e problematizadas na escola, bem como o papel de sujeitos e coletivos no reconhecimento e enfrentamento das mesmas. / Eucalyptus monoculture emerges as an alternative to supply the growing demand for products of forest origin. With a fast-growing crop, great adaptability to the diverse conditions of climate and soil, and significant potential of use, quickly gained space in the market. However, due to the possible environmental impacts and conflicting processes that it has caused, such as the accelerated destruction of ecosystems and the deterritorialization of individuals, eucalyptus monocultures have become a threat to the natural resources and the people of the countryside. Given this context of socio-environmental inequalities, the objective of this research is to understand teachers‟ perceptions about environmental problems/ conflicts / injustices arising from eucalyptus monoculture in the city of Lima Duarte-MG and its implications for education. In order to understand the environmental problem, a dialogue is proposed between Environmental Education and Field Education, based on a reflection of the capitalist hegemonic model, which is responsible for numerous environmental injustice processes. With the intention of apprehending the senses about the environmental problem, we use the Critical Discourse Analysis as a theoretical and methodological reference of research. The discourses of the interviewed educators showed monoculture as a local environmental problem, identifying processes of social and environmental inequalities arising from the practice. There was a predominance of conservationist and pragmatic environmental perspectives, which may be related to hegemonic discourses that circulate in the media and in public power, such as agribusiness. There are also signs of discursive hybridization about socio-environmental risks / damages / injustices processes, with the invisibility of processes of injustice and local confrontation. By focusing on the curriculum and its educational practices, the educators‟ discourses elucidated a distancing from the local context, with the invisibility of processes of local problems / conflicts / environmental injustices and the tensions in the production and reproduction of other pedagogies in the face of hegemonic pedagogies. Thus, the research allowed to understand how the local environmental injustices are being thought and problematized in the school, as well as the role of subjects and collective in the recognition and confrontation of the same ones.
