This article outlines the technique used in the EJ Atlas mapping process. EJ Atlas utilizes conflict inventory
created by activist organizations, along with other research. It discusses the co-design and atlas
development process, and evaluates the atlas first results and contribution as a tool for activism,
advocacy, and scientific knowledge. It includes theoretical framework, based on activist knowledge.

Then next go over the database's categories and filtering options in more detail, as well as the contents
of the database and how the EJAtlas was created. It also gives an overview of the mapping process,
preliminary findings and offers some thoughts on how this project could advance political ecology and EJ
research. The final section presents the findings and makes fresh recommendations for the environmental
justice scholarship study agenda.

By moving beyond the isolated case study approach to give a more systematic evidence-based
investigation of the politics, power relations, and socio-metabolic processes underpinning environmental
justice battles locally and worldwide, the author illustrates how the atlas may deepen EJ research, it also
focuses on a tool developed to organize data on environmental justice disputes.
