Global Environmental Justice
The concept of environmental justice includes the expectation that environmental risks and 'hazards should be equally distributed when measured against wealth or race. Studies in the United States have shown that at least some risks, such as proximity to hazardous waste disposal sites, are not equally distributed. Is the concept of equally distributed environmental risks a useful tool in assessing global environmental hazards Consider the following:
• The Niger delta provides 10 percent of U.S. oil imports and routinely suffers substantial oil spills, as noted above.
• Eighty percent of Nigeria's government revenue comes from the Niger delta, but life expectancy in the delta is the lowest in Nigeria."
Question
Are oil companies guilty of unethical behavior if their drilling procedures off the coast of Africa do not take environmental precautions equivalent to those they take when drilling in U.S. or European waters Explain.
