Environmental Justice Movements in Resource-Rich African Nations: An Egyptian Perspective

Authors: El-Sayed, Abdel Rahman;

Environmental Justice Movements in Resource-Rich African Nations: An Egyptian Perspective

Abstract

Environmental Justice Movements (EJM) in resource-rich African nations face unique challenges due to their abundant natural resources and often exploitative practices by governments and industries. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilising semi-structured interviews with activists, policymakers, and scholars to gather insights into EJM activities in Egypt. Data analysis focuses on thematic coding for comprehensive interpretation. Activists reported a significant increase (over 50%) in community-led initiatives combating pollution from oil drilling sites compared to previous years, highlighting the growing resilience of local communities against corporate negligence. This study underscores the evolving nature of EJM strategies and their effectiveness in Egypt. Key findings suggest that proactive community engagement coupled with robust governmental policies can mitigate environmental injustices. Recommendations include strengthening collaboration between activists, policymakers, and international organizations to enhance legal protections for affected communities. Moreover, fostering greater transparency and accountability within resource industries is crucial.
