Strengthening institutional capacity to empower frontline communities to lead change for environmental justice.
About us
The Yale Center for Environmental Justice is committed to strengthening institutional capacity to empower frontline communities to lead change by catalyzing partnerships and expanding interdisciplinary research, teaching, and practice in environmental justice. In addition, YCEJ promotes an expanded definition of environmental justice, recognizing the lived experiences and interconnected systemic inequities that shape environmental inequality. YECJ is a joint undertaking between Yale School of the Environment and Yale Law School, in partnership with the Yale Center for the Study of Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration. YCEJ brings this perspective to four priority areas. First, to improve environmental decision-making using different disciplines to address areas of process failure. Second, to create opportunities for engaged research and experiential learning in partnership with local environmental justice groups. Third, to create links to indigenous environmental groups globally and tribal nations in the United States to address environmental justice issues as they arise in this specific legal and policy context. Fourth, to advance just transitions in energy and food systems in the face of climate disruption with a focus on the connection between clean energy, food security, and food sovereignty.
