An environmental contract is a way of expressing the rights and responsibilities of citizens, businesses and the state when it comes to the environment. It is not known who invented the term. The British politician David Miliband used it when he was appointed Secretary of State for the Environment in May 2006, both in his (blog ) and in an (article ) on the BBC News website. He initiated the launch of a (wiki ) to form an environmental contract. However, the site was edited heavily by Government officials, rendering pointless the exercise to interact with the public. The term can be seen as an invitation to invite parallels with the idea of a social contract between workers, employers and the state which underpinned the foundation of the welfare state. Some have argued that, just as the social contract was a way of addressing social dislocation, so the environmental contract can be a way of addressing the environmental impacts which pose a threat to people and the planet in the 21st century. == Environmental citizenship == Because of its emphasis on rights and responsibilities, there are clear links between the environmental contract and notions of (environmental citizenship ) (EC). Environmental citizenship (EC) may shed light on our research into the way publics are built in everyday settings, if it is built firmly around the notions of justice, knowledge and language.〔http://www.emilioluque.com/uploads/Main/envcit.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Environmental contract」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
