| Environmental Working Group |
| Damage to the environment is always intertwined with damage to people; community health is threatened, people are forced to migrate, and the chances of conflict are increased. As a result, environmental justice is intrinsically connected with social justice. To address this, the Coalition recently assembled an environmental working group that brings together members from around the world to address the human and environmental impacts of environmental degradation and climate change. For more information or to join, contact Braden Paynter. |
