Climate Conversations: Environmental Justice
Date/Time: Friday, April 26, 2024 | 12:30-1:45 p.m. ET
Environmental justice and a just transition are critical to tackling the climate crisis and create a more equitable world for all. Yet, awareness of environmental justice is uneven and the concept applies differently in different circumstances. Join the National Academies and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for a discussion about reconciling different understandings of environmental justice, the importance of community engagement in a just transition, and how centering environmental justice can accelerate implementation of climate-friendly policies.
