Introduction to environmental justice
ModulesIntroduction to environmental justice
This micro-module introduces the concept of environmental justice and explores how environmental harms and benefits are often distributed unequally across different communities. It encourages participants to reflect on the responsibility they hold in shaping sustainable and fair outcomes. Through a questionnaire and stakeholder mapping, learners will explore how environmental and social inequalities can emerge in their own work.
Secondary learning objectives:
Recognize that certain communities and social groups face disproportionately high exposure to environmental hazards.
Reflect on how such disparities may arise within the context of their own research or professional practice.Environmental justice in practice
We will begin by watching a short video on environmental justice. After viewing the video, you will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire based on the content you’ve just seen. Next, we will shift focus to your own research. In this part of the session, you’ll be asked to explore the environmental impacts of your own research or research outputs.
