Like many of you, my work requires me to stay up-to-date with the latest news on environmental science, social justice, and public policy. It can be hard. The news is often bleak, and the way forward obstructed. So what to do? How do we maintain resilience? I consider this in my latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/g4RZ6RiF

Today is World Environment Day. Our natural environment is and will always be a crucial aspect of public policy. It intersects with various aspects of our society, including economics, health, and social justice. The FEU Public Policy Center (FPPC) recognizes the importance of environmental issues in policy-making and public discourse. Environmental conservation and stewardship can only happen through active citizenship, one of our key advocacies in the FPPC.

Register Now: Cumulative Impacts and Public Health Webinar October 1 2024 11 PST / 12 MT/ 1 CST/ 2EST Description: Our systems of environmental and public health, safety, and protection – regulations, policies, and practices that include land use, monitoring, permitting, and enforcement – have been dominated and governed by practices that center on one pollutant at a time and individual sources of pollution. This myopic approach has contributed greatly to environmental injustice. To achieve environmental justice and improve health, it is imperative we transform our regulatory system to acknowledge the myriad of socioeconomic stressors and conditions that synergistically and disproportionately impact overburdened communities. You will hear and learn from the following environmental justice grassroots leaders and experts Presenters: Richard Moore, Co-Coordinator of Los Jardines Institute Co-Chair of White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council Courtney Hanson, Deputy Executive Director People for Community Recovery Elizabeth J Friedman MD, MPH Director of Environmental Health Children’s Mercy Hospital Katherine Catalano, Deputy Director APHA Center for Climate, Health & Equity
