Abstract: Environmental challenges are, at their root, social problems that arise from income and power inequality. Thus, inequality is an environmental issue just as environmental degradation is a social issue (forming a social-ecological nexus), and solutions must address them jointlythrough principles and institutions rooted in justice. This article develops a two-sided social-ecological approach to offer both analytical and empirical insights into the dynamics of this relationship and a policy path forward Classification-JEL :
