Environmental degradation is not just a scientific issue. It is a social justice crisis. Climate change, pollution, and environmental disasters disproportionately impact low-income, BIPOC, and historically marginalized communities. This webinar explores how social workers can lead in the fight for climate justice while addressing the psychological, economic, and health-related effects of environmental harm.

Participants will examine how environmental injustice is rooted in structural racism, economic inequity, and policy failures, and what we can do about it. 

Whether you’re in direct practice, community organizing, education, or policy, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to center equity, promote resilience, and contribute to a more just and sustainable future. 

Objectives: 
- Define climate justice and its relevance to social work practice.
- Explain how environmental harms disproportionately impact marginalized communities.
- Analyze the intersection of climate change, trauma, and social determinants of health.
- Identify strategies for climate-informed and justice-oriented advocacy.
