Environmental Justice/Equity and Global Change- Methodologies, Frameworks, and Results

Session ID#: 124089

Session Description:
Global environmental change has led to, exacerbated or been created by inequities across social systems. The intersection of environmental justice and the geosciences is one of the most important links between the earth and social sciences that is important to understand at the local, regional, and global scale. We seek contributions from a wide range of work that approaches the integration of environmental justice and earth science research at the interfaces of air or water quality, climate change, land use, energy or resource access, and more. In particular, we are interested in frameworks, methods, and integrated datasets that assess, analyze, and counter the injustices and disproportionate impacts brought about or exacerbated by environmental change. We especially welcome work that focuses on racial, economic, gender-based, and disability justice.
