CLIMATE JUSTICE

Below are a list of anchor resources and sample projects to support an investigation of Climate Justice issues.

ANCHOR RESOURCE:

🌳This resource from the NAACP, Teaching Intersectionality and Environmental Justice in Our Classrooms, is a good starting point. It provides a critical intersectional framework for the examination of environmental justice and contains a resource list for websites such as the National Institutes for Environmental Health Sciences and the Center for Ecogenics and Environmental Health, among others. It also includes links to lesson plans and videos.

Informational Resources

🌳Future Learn provides full courses on climate change (not specifically EJ) developed by Universities from around the world. Some courses are free, but there may be fees related to specific course content. Depending on the subject or course you can get free access for a limited amount of time usually longer than 6 weeks. Note, this is most appropriate for OY participants.

🌳The North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) provides online learning modules for environmental education. The full curriculum can be accessed at no cost, but users must sign in to gain access to tools for activities.

🌳Just Health Action provides an Environmental Justice curriculum with lessons and activities on EJ and community health.
