Environmentalism of the Poor and Sustainable Development: An Appraisal

This paper highlights the main factors why environmentalism of the poor (EOP) has the potential to becoming the main driving force for achieving an ecologically sustainable society. Until recently, environmentalism was seen as a preserve of the rich or northern societies while EOP was often overlooked as a movement more motivated by social issues and survival than concerned with the environment. The key to truly empowering EOP and taking advantage of its inherent qualities is allowing the poor a more equitable and participatory role in the global sustainable development agenda. To this end, alliances between North and South will help ensure better global environmental governance by giving the South a stronger and fairer role in the future development of the global community.
