This chapter provides an overview of the variety of topics and methods that characterize the evolving set of environmental justice discourses in Western Europe. It shows the environmental justice as more than an analytical concept integrating social and environmental factors. The chapter introduces the range of discourses on environmental justice in Western Europe through an overview that focuses on the forms of concern and normativity that have been central to environmental justice claim-making. This is followed by an overview of similarities and differences in methodological approaches and results regarding distributional inequalities, based on selected studies. The chapter also shows that the role of spatial and environmental planning and the involvement of citizens in planning processes and access to information are dealt with, focusing therefore on questions of procedural justice. Decision-making in this context is focused on the specific context of implementation of the Aarhus Convention in the European Union
