Let's Talk Climate (in)Justice 2022

Let's Talk Climate (in)Justice is an event that highlights climate change not only as an environmental issue but as a social justice issue.

Although no one is immune from climate change, the burden of its effects is not carried equally between races, genders, economic statuses, or age groups. This symposium features a series of in-person speakers from a variety of backgrounds to discuss both climate injustice as well as the path forward to reach climate justice. The focal points of the event are climate change and its impacts on Indigenous rights, water justice, and food security.
