Abstract
Access to environmental justice is a critical issue in developing countries, where legal, socio-economic, and political barriers often impede the ability of marginalized communities to seek redress for environmental harms. This paper explores the multifaceted challenges that hinder access to environmental justice in these regions, including inadequate legal frameworks, limited public awareness, and weak institutional capacities. Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis of case studies, the paper identifies key obstacles and proposes viable solutions to enhance environmental justice. Recommendations include legal reforms, community empowerment initiatives, and the strengthening of non-governmental organizations' roles. The findings underscore the importance of a collaborative approach involving governments, civil society, and international bodies to ensure equitable access to environmental justice. This paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on environmental justice by highlighting practical strategies to overcome existing challenges and promote sustainable development in developing countries.
