Abstract

This article examines the implications of pluralism for environmental decision-making and governance in the globalizing world. It first discusses how environmental governance is needed to deal with environmental conflicts and interdependencies caused by the attributes of environmental resources and their users. The article argues that globalization engenders large-scale interdependencies and conflicts that involve increasingly heterogeneous individuals and organizations. The article suggests that the resulting radical pluralism will underline the role of justice in providing reasons and justifications for collective environmental decisions and will shift emphasis from distributive justice to procedural justice. The article concludes by discussing solutions that would take justice concerns into account in environmental governance. *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A03DH034 00004
