<h4>Our Mission</h4> <p>Our world faces several existential threats whose roots lie in environmental and social injustice. The Yale Center for Environmental Justice (YCEJ) works with partners across Yale and in communities around the world to remedy the key drivers of injustice while co-creating generative solutions for a more just and sustainable world. </p> </div> <h4>What We Do</h4> <div class="row"> <div class="column"> <div class="blue-column"><img alt="windmill and togetherness" src="/sites/default/files/images/EnJ-Speaker-Series.jpg" style="width: 100%; object-fit: cover; height: 370px;" /></div> </div> <div class="column"> <div><strong>Education & Capacity</strong><br /> Climate change and other environmental injustices demand big leaps in understanding, innovation, deployment and management. Working with over 30 faculty across the University, YCEJ institutionalizes new curriculum and field experience for undergraduate, masters and doctoral students and reaches hundreds of environmental leaders and professionals across the world every year with conferences, workshops and online certificate programs. </div> </div> </div> <div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="column"> <div><strong>Research</strong><br /> YCEJ works to power the growing awareness of environmental and climate justice with rigorous scientific, economic, social and policy analysis. We answer questions like, “How do we constructively and formally integrate indigenous knowledge in decision-making and emerging tools like generative artificial intelligence?” and “How do funds from the Inflation Reduction Act and other infusions of climate capital around the world augment a just transition?” YCEJ is institutionalizing strategic research capacities to fill pressing empirical, management and other knowledge gaps on an ongoing basis.</div> </div> <div class="column"> <div class="blue-column"><img alt="people having a group discussion" src="/sites/default/files/images/EnJoy-Workshop-Group.jpg" style="width: 100%; object-fit: cover; height: 370px;" /></div> </div> </div> <div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="column"> <div class="blue-column"><img alt="panel of people" src="/sites/default/files/images/Tribal-Co-Management.jpg" style="width: 100%; object-fit: cover; height: 370px;" /></div> </div> <div class="column"> <div><strong>Impact</strong><br /> Solutions generated by and with environmental justice communities are key to meeting the urgency of environmental injustice and the climate crisis.
