This first issue of the Enseignements du Lab collection provides a transversalreading of the results of four collective projects linked to the ecological transitionin working-class neighbourhoods. It focuses on the sociological dimension ofthe climate crisis and, more specifically, on environmental inequalities. The linkbetween environmental issues and inequalities is not new, but it is increasinglybeing studied, mainly through the prism of working-class neighbourhoods. Indeed,residents of low-income urban areas are more vulnerable to the consequencesof climate change. And this, even though they contribute to it the least,through their consumption. After presenting the specific context and potential ofworking-class neighbourhoods to contribute to the social and ecological transition,this publication answers the following question: what actions are possiblein working-class neighbourhoods to address environmental inequalitiesand move towards greater environmental justice?
