Environment

What it is and why it is important

Environment research investigates how human activities and policies impact the natural world and, conversely, how environmental changes affect human societies.

By examining how environmental issues disproportionately affect different communities, our research promotes fair and just solutions to environmental inequality.

Key research topics in this field include:

• The effects of climate change, pollution, and resource depletion on communities and economies.
• Environmental justice, focusing on the fair distribution of environmental benefits and burdens.
• The development and effectiveness of policies aimed at promoting sustainability and reducing environmental harm.
