The EJAtlas, the Global Atlas of Environmental Justice, offers a global view of environmental justice struggles through a collaborative mapping initiative. This article introduces the EJAtlas mapping process and its methodology, describes the process of development of the atlas, and assesses the initial outcomes and contribution of the tool for activism, advocacy and scientific knowledge. The article highlights the need for collaborative research on ecological conflicts within a global, systemic perspective. The EJAtlas aims to increase the understanding of the determinants of resource extraction and waste disposal conflicts globally.
