Environmental injustice is the situation in which the poor are disproportionately affected by the environment and the challenges it has for people. Two examples are:
-income inequality (social issue) means that some people can afford air climatization while others can't.
- some countries, typically poorer countries, such as Bangladesh are more affected by the floods caused by the global warming, despite the richer countries being more responsible for global warming.
Answer:
Parens Patriae
Explanation:
Parens patriae refers to a legal term that refers to the authority of the government to intervene on behalf of those who are unable to take care of themselves. The doctrine of Parens Patriae has found its strongest use in the care of infants, mentally ill persons and those who are legally incompetent to handle their affairs. The State is the sole protector of all children under its jurisdiction, and the State courts have the absolute authority to interfere and protect the best interests of children whose well being is compromised by conflicts between parents.
