Public benefits

The direct benefits flowing from purpose 1 include better supported communities, individuals and organisations engaged in challenging environmental injustice on the island of Ireland through the development of accessible co-produced resources and the provision of a platform to facilitate collaboration between these groups. The direct benefits

flowing from purpose 2 include advancements in education relating to environmental justice, including the development of a library of resources which can be used by the public and others to enhance awareness of environmental justice issues.

The benefits of purpose 2 are demonstrated through levels of engagement with EJNI resources and events (monitored via e.g. attendance and downloads). The benefits of purpose 3 are demonstrated through the impact of research created by EJNI, including citations and quotations from research outputs. No. The public. No.

What your organisation does

The Environmental Justice Network Ireland was launched in June 2019 to create a collaborative platform for partnership working between academics, representatives of civil society and environmental NGOs. EJNI’s core goal is to address the root causes of social and environmental justice deficits on the island of Ireland. EJNI is delivering this goal

through an innovative, transdisciplinary model of collaboration which draws together diverse stakeholders and decision-makers who usually operate in almost completely separate spheres. Its primary activities centre on three key areas: (i) Research: the creation and dissemination of evidence-based, multi-media resources to help enhance knowledge about environmental and social justice issues which impact citizens on the island of Ireland and beyond; (ii) Advocacy: empowering and campaigning support activities relating to environmental injustices; (iii) Action: the provision of a unique platform for collaborative online and in-person activism and action designed to enhance cooperation between diverse stakeholders and across borders.

Charitable purposes

(i) to promote, for the benefit of the public, access to environmental justice by supporting communities, individuals and organisations that are engaged in challenging environmental injustice on the island of Ireland and providing a platform for collaboration between these groups; (ii) to promote, for the benefit of the public, the advancement of education about environmental justice concerns on the island of Ireland and how these relate to global environmental, economic and societal debates; and (iii) to carry out or assist in the carrying out of research into environmental justice and to publish or otherwise disseminate the results of such research on the island of Ireland and across the world for the benefit of the public. For the purposes of these Objects, ’environmental justice’ is defined as the prevention of unfairly distributed environmental harms and the establishment of procedures to ensure that concerned citizens and public interest groups can access the justice system at reasonable cost; be provided with a fair platform for the treatment of environmental issues; and obtain adequate and effective remedies for breaches of environmental law. Nothing in the articles will authorise an application of the property of the charity for purposes, which are not charitable in accordance with section 3 of the Charities Act 2009. For the avoidance of doubt, the system of law governing the articles of association of the charity is the law of Northern Ireland.
