Environmental Justice in the Anthropocene Symposium 2017

The School of Global Environmental Sustainability's Global Challenges Research Team hosted a two-day symposium, "Environmental Justice and Sustainability in the Anthropocene," on April 24-25, 2017 at the Lory Student Center at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. The symposium brought together faculty and graduate students, independent researchers, community and movement activists, and regulatory and policy practitioners from across disciplines, research areas, perspectives, and different countries. Environmental justice (EJ) is a central component of sustainability politics during the Anthropocene – the current geological age when human activity is the dominant influence on climate and environment. The overarching goal was to build on several decades of EJ research and practice to address the seemingly intractable environmental and ecological problems of this unfolding era.
