Slovenia: The Lafarge Trbovlje cement plant is among several industrial sites and facilities in Slovenia that have been added to the Global Atlas of Environmental Justice, an interactive online mapping platform detailing environmental conflicts around the world. Its originators seek to highlight incidences of water and land competition as well as air, water and other pollution.
"The Atlas illustrates how ecological conflicts are increasing around the world, driven by material demands fed primarily by the rich and middle class subsections of the global population," said project coordinator Joan Martinez-Alier of the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
