Summer school in Environmental Justice

Environmental Justice in Theory and Practice

Explore one of the most urgent challenges of our time—how to make environmental action just. This interactive summer course delves into environmental justice, asking: who benefits, who loses, and why? You'll engage with contemporary philosophical debates, real-world case studies, and justice movements from around the globe. Learn how environmental decisions affect vulnerable communities, ecosystems, and future generations across land, sea, and climate. With expert lecturers, guest practitioners, and a hands-on city walk, this interdisciplinary course invites you to critically rethink sustainability, justice, and your role in shaping a more just world.
