Abstract
In this chapter, the authors attempt to clarify the concepts of fairness and environmental justice, which are often mixed into one concept in the environmental literature. For this purpose, the philosophical roots and historical views on these concepts are considered. The concept of environmental justice is proposed as a broad general concept that includes all issues of justice in the process of making management decisions in the field of environmental safety in the Arctic, including the fairness of the procedure and fairness in distribution. It is also shown that fairness, similar to environmental justice, has ethical and causative justification. Furthermore, both environmental justice and fairness use ethical and causative arguments. The authors stated that it is possible to find the philosophical and theoretical bases for the concepts of environmental justice and fairness, and enables practical application of the resulting conclusions in the discussions on climate change and environmental issues.
