Call for Student Climate Justice Abstracts
The Educate, Motivate and Innovate (EMI) Climate Justice Initiative is seeking abstracts on student projects that address
resiliency, adaptation, and mitigation. Students should emphasize the relationships between climate change and the
following: public health, cultural and traditional practices, economic development, and environmental justice communities.
The EMI Committee will use these abstracts to select students to participate in the EMI Workshop at the National
Environmental Justice Conference and Training Program.
