Abstract

Environmental justice movements in resource-rich African nations are increasingly recognised for their potential to address inequities related to natural resources and climate change. The research employs a survey approach to gather data on the presence, activities, and impacts of environmental justice movements within selected communities in Djibouti. A notable finding is that approximately two-thirds (65%) of respondents have participated in at least one environmental protest or awareness campaign over the past year, indicating a growing engagement with environmental issues. The study underscores the importance of understanding local dynamics and community-driven initiatives to effectively support sustainable development and justice. Policy makers should prioritise inclusive governance structures that foster collaboration between communities and environmental organizations to promote equitable resource management.
