Environmental Justice

Catalog description

This course will examine how meaningful and fair treatment of people, despite their different backgrounds, race, or culture, can help to protect them and their environment from environmental hazards. We live in a globalized world where people are more interconnected than before and are engaged in different enterprises across the globe. There is therefore, a need for environmental justice in order to protect natural resources, human health, and promote sustainability. The importance of environmental justice, what is being done, and how it is linked to sustainability will also be discussed.
