The Environmental Justice and Climate Just Cities Network is led by Christian Braneon (NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies) and Jacqueline Klopp (Center for Sustainable Urban Development), Kate Orff, Thaddeus Pawlowski, Johanna Lovecchio (Center For Resilient Cities And Landscapes – Columbia GSAPP) and Natalie Greaves-Peters (Teacher’s College). The Network is rooted in the concept that no community should take on an unfair share of the environmental burden and that environmental benefits are shared in an equitable way regardless of race, class, gender, or other axes of exclusion. The Climate Just Cities Network brings these principles to life in regard to how climate change mitigation and adaptation policies, plans, and actions are conceptualized, implemented, managed, and governed.
To get involved, the Network invites you to attend meetings and events, share your environmental justice work, add contacts to the environmental justice directory, and help with curriculum development. The Network especially welcomes students who are interested in environmental justice. Please contact the Network at justice.climate@columbia.edu for details, and learn more about events, projects, and resources by visiting our website: justicenetwork.climate.columbia.edu.
