Abstract

Social equity concerns are complicated because of political and economic realities and the number of variables the lens can embrace. This book chapter discussed on the definition of social equity, issues related to social equity, key challenges in defining social equity in sustainability, and the way forward. There are five issues highlighted which are socioeconomic status, education, public transportation, health care, and environmental threat. Some of the key challenges in defining social equity in sustainability are financial challenges, uneven progress of SDG targets, preexisting socioeconomic inequalities, and equitability of natural resources.
