Environmental Justice Workshop

Creating Equitable Green Spaces for All Communities

Examine the critical intersection of environmental management and social equity in this thought-provoking workshop on "green gentrification." Discover how urban greening projects, while environmentally beneficial, can inadvertently accelerate neighborhood displacement and deepen social inequities.

What You'll Experience

• Explore research showing how green spaces disproportionately benefit wealthy communities
• Understand the mechanisms of environmental gentrification that displace low-wealth, Black and brown residents
• Learn to use practical assessment tools that help predict and prevent unwanted displacement
• Develop strategies for creating inclusive green spaces that benefit existing communities

Taking Action Workshop participants will engage with innovative community resilience frameworks that ensure environmental improvements serve all residents equitably. Take home actionable approaches to advocate for just environmental policies in your neighborhood.

Join us to help shape a future where environmental benefits and social justice go hand in hand—creating truly sustainable communities that thrive together.
