Climate Conversation: Environmental Justice
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine hosts a monthly webinar series to convene high-level, cross-cutting, nonpartisan conversations about issues relevant to policy action on climate change.
The focus of the April webinar was environmental justice and the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ was a cohost. The event featured the work of the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ's Commission on Accelerating Climate Action with Commission member Hilary C. Tompkins.
Participants discussed how to reconcile 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.
