Global Green Crime and Ecojustice

Abstract

Over the past decades, green crimes and ecojustice has gained significant international attention. Characterized by profound impacts such as deforestation, mining, climate change, and species extinction, ‘green’ issues have become global in nature, with far-reaching environmental and social consequences. Scientists have warned of a new, so-called Anthropocene epoch, which is marked by significant changes to the Earth and atmosphere as the result of human activities. The collapse of pre-industrial institutions and the development of new free trade zones and technologies have radically transformed the world and its ecosystems.
