The purpose of the graduate Certificate in Environmental Justice at the University of Colorado Boulder is to provide structured training in environmental justice for CU graduate students to equip them to be effective scholarly leaders and practitioners in this dynamic field. The Certificate draws upon the strengths of our world-class interdisciplinary faculty who teach and conduct research on environmental justice issues, and balance theoretical and applied approaches. In particular, the certificate guides students to engage with diverse theoretical underpinnings of environmental justice and social change; explore the real-world justice implications related to issues such as climate change, land use, waste, transportation, energy, and food systems; and consider local environmental conflicts and issues through a global lens. https://www.colorado.edu/certificate/ej/about-graduate-certificate-environmental-justice
