Abstract
Environmental justice movements have emerged in response to environmental degradation and resource exploitation in African nations, particularly those rich in natural resources such as Egypt. The analysis will draw upon existing literature on environmental justice, coupled with case studies from Egypt, to construct a comprehensive theoretical model. The theoretical framework developed highlights the complex interplay between resource access, governance structures, and community resilience in shaping environmental justice outcomes. Future research should focus on identifying effective strategies for mediating conflicts between economic development and environmental protection in Egypt and other resource-rich African countries.
