Abstract:
|
The economically disadvantaged and minorities in the United States bear a disproportionate share of environmental problems. While environmental justice movements have contributed to the development of environmental policies, there is still work to be done to ensure all Americans have the basic right to live in a healthy environment. Much money, time, and energy are being spent by federal, state, and private organizations in the United States and other countries to collect environmental data, but much too little is invested in the analysis and interpretation of these data. This panel brings experts from academia, government, and industry perspectives to discuss issues of environmental justice and environmental health at the national and global levels. A viable win-win-win model for research in training undergraduates to cultivate tomorrow's problemsolvers will be presented.
