Equity and justice play an integral role in environmental affairs, yet remain elusive in our legal, economic, and ecological systems. When we recognize the interconnectedness of social and biophysical factors, we expand our potential to advance both sustainability and human rights. At SEAS, Environmental Justice students and researchers examine how and why inequalities arise and are maintained around the world. We tackle global issues like climate vulnerability and adaptation, environmental workforce dynamics, environmental health, energy transitions, agricultural change, food security, forest governance, hazard exposure, community revitalization, conservation and access to natural areas, as well as conflict mediation, management of non-governmental organizations, advocacy campaigns, public opinion, and more. Our Environmental Justice faculty is at the forefront the field's teaching, research, scholarship, and activism. SEAS was the first school in the U.S. to launch an Environmental Justice program that offered undergraduate and graduate degree specializations, and our campus is now home to one of the largest clusters of the field's faculty and students nationwide.
