Abstract

Environmental justice is a topic that has been mentioned a lot in the world. However, in Vietnam, this is a field that is not directly discussed, especially from the perspective of academic studies. The complex nature of this topic requires an interdisciplinary view, in which it is impossible to lack the interpretations from the socio-philosophical perspective. Therefore, understanding, interpreting, and exposing its contents from the theoretical aspect, is the one of the research directions that needs to be clarified, especially in the con text of Vietnam. Stemming from the above judgments, this article analyzes and clarifies two main issues as follows: 1. Environmental justice and the basic principles of environmental justice implementation in Vietnam; 2. Reality of implementing environmental justice in Vietnam.
