Presenters will:

  • Address historic and systemic issues (e.g., redlining, toxic waste siting, zoning policies) that have disproportionally impacted BIPOC communities, including social, economic, and health implications of these practices.
  • Discuss the importance of environmental justice initiatives to mitigate inequity and how public health professionals can address environmental racism.
  • Present strategies and frameworks to address environmental racism, such as health-in-all-policies, just transition, and cumulative impacts policies to curtail future health disparities.

The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A session with the webinar audience.

Closed captioning will be provided.

Webinar participants can earn 1.5 CPH, CME, CNE, or CHES continuing education credits.
