=== Procedural justice ===
Current political ideologies surrounding how to make right issues of environmental racism and environmental justice are shifting towards the idea of employing [[procedural justice]]. Procedural justice is a concept that dictates the use of fairness in the process of making decisions, especially when said decisions are being made in diplomatic situations such as the allocation of resources or the settling of disagreements. Procedural justice calls for a fair, transparent, impartial decision-making process with equal opportunity for all parties to voice their positions, opinions, and concerns.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cops.usdoj.gov/prodceduraljustice|title=PROCEDURAL JUSTICE {{!}} COPS OFFICE|website=cops.usdoj.gov|access-date=17 March 2020|archive-date=8 April 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220408145818/https://cops.usdoj.gov/prodceduraljustice|url-status=dead}}</ref> Rather than just focusing on the outcomes of agreements and the effects those outcomes have on affected populations and interest groups, procedural justice looks to involve all stakeholders throughout the process from planning through implementation. In terms of combating environmental racism, procedural justice helps to reduce the opportunities for powerful actors such as often-corrupt states or private entities to dictate the entire decision-making process and puts some power back into the hands of those who will be directly affected by the decisions being made.<ref name="Schroeder" />
