The Environmental Justice Atlas or EJAtlas.org is a freely accessible on-line interactive information portal that helps academic scholars and public policymakers across the world in identifying exemplary cases of peoples’ resistance against climate change and environment degradation. EJAtlas.org is conceived by the EJOLT project – an acronym for the ‘Environmental Justice, Liabilities and Trade’ project. EJOLT is a European Commission FP7 programme-funded global research project operated during 2011–2015 and concluded recently. It represents a global distribution map of the ecological conflicts, resistances and environmental injustices, which are mostly located in the Global South.

What type of information can you find in the Atlas?
The EJatlas maps conflicts across 10 main categories:
Nuclear; Mineral Ores and Building Extractions; Waste Management; Biomass and Land Conflicts; Fossil Fuels and Climate Justice/Energy; Water Management; Infrastructure and Built Environment; Tourism Recreation; Biodiversity Conservation Conflicts; Industrial and Utilities Conflicts

The database contains information on the investors, the drivers for these deals, and their impacts, basic data, source of conflict, project details, conflict and mobilization, impacts, outcome, references to legislation, academic research, videos and pictures.
