The COVID-19 pandemic has coincided with a powerful upsurge in antiracist activism in the United States, linking many forms and consequences of racism to public and environmental health. This commentary develops the concept of eco-pandemic injustice to explain interrelationships between the pandemic and socioecological systems, demonstrating how COVID-19 both reveals and deepens structural inequalities that form along lines of environmental health. Using Pellow’s critical environmental justice theory, we examine how the crisis has made more visible and exacerbated links between racism, poverty, and health while providing opportunities to enact change through collective embodied health movements. We describe new collaborations and the potential for meaningful opportunities at the intersections between health, antiracist, environmental, and political movements that are advocating for the types of transformational change described by critical environmental justice.

Energy justice is a concept that describes and explains how issues of justice relate to energy systems. It draws on long-standing justice theory and is particularly elaborated within the environmental justice literature in relation to distributive, procedural, and recognition justice to explore the costs and benefits of energy systems. This chapter explores the two strands of literature that have emerged: one around the dynamics of energy consumption in terms of access and affordability and the second around the politics of energy production, largely in relation to infrastructure. It sets out an agenda for future research across three broad themes: connection and multiplicity, framing and discourses, and transitions and responsibility.
