HBCU Climate Change Conference
October 11, 2023 - October 15, 2023
The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice in collaboration with the Bullard Center for Environmental & Climate Justice at Texas Southern University will host the in-person Ninth Annual HBCU Climate Change Conference October 11-15, 2023.
The conference brings together HBCU faculty and students, researchers, climate professionals, and environmental justice and coastal community residents impacted by toxic facilities and severe weather events related to climate change to bridge the gap between theory and the experiential realities of climate change.
The conference will address issues related to climate justice, adaptation, community resilience, global climate issues, and other major climate change topics (i.e. transportation, energy sources, carbon emissions, green jobs/green economy, just transition, and community economic development).
