It shows why some conflicts, such as local opposition to wind farms and water disputes, have become intractable social problems in many countries of the world. It shows the power of \u003cem\u003einjustice\u003c\/em\u003e in generating opposition to decisions. The book answers the question: why are the results of many government initiatives and policies not accepted by those affected?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFocusing on two social conflicts over water sharing in Australia to show why fairness and justice are important in decision-making, the book shows how these conflicts are typical of water sharing and other natural resource conflicts experienced in many countries around the world, particularly in the context of climate change. It tells the stories of these conflicts from the perspectives of those involved. These practically-based findings are then related back to ideas and constructs of justice from disciplines such as social psychology, political philosophy, and jurisprudence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a strong practical focus, \u003cem\u003eFairness and Justice in Environmental Decision Making\u003c\/em\u003e offers readers an opportunity to develop a deep understanding of fairness and justice in environmental decision-making.
