In this webinar, speakers Lori Peek and Leila Darwish discuss environmental justice tools and evaluation in science research.
Webinar Date
April 25 at 3 PM ET
Webinar Series Summary
The National CASC hosted a virtual webinar series on "Incorporating Climate and Environmental Justice into Research and Resource Management" that discusses how to integrate principles of climate and environmental justice into research and resource management. It ran bi-weekly from February 29 to May 9, 2024 and explores the ethics around engaging with the populations most vulnerable to the impacts of environmental and climate change, which are often low-income communities, communities of color, Indigenous and Tribal communities, and people facing disenfranchisement. The series is meant to be of particular value to researchers looking to apply justice principles to their own work and communities seeking to lay out clear expectations for the researchers they collaborate with.
