Environmental injustice in a warming Arctic: Eunice Lee

The article “Environmental Injustice in a Warming Arctic” reveals how climate change deepens inequality, especially for Indigenous communities facing disrupted food systems, health risks, and cultural loss. While Antarctica has no permanent population, similar patterns of injustice emerge in its governance. The Antarctic Treaty System excludes vulnerable nations most affected by polar ice melt, centralizes power among a few states, and prioritizes scientific and economic interests over ecological limits. Both poles expose the need for more inclusive, justice-based environmental governance.
