Environmental Justice Project Proposal – Phase I Spring 2021

CLS-Sabin Center & BC – Environmental Science Department; CU Libraries

Project: Create an annotated bibliography of US resources concerning the intersection of climate change and environmental justice organized by the topics listed in the main table, and eventually grouped by zip code/ geographic location.

Reason: There are numerous studies that talk about the geographic location or demographic incidence of various relevant factors, and making them all readily accessible in one place could be helpful to policymakers, advocates and scholars, and would help avoid a lot of duplicated work. To organize them by their geographic location, we need first to locate all digital websites/organizations and index their published resources, offering a brief descriptive content per each category and subcategory.

Benefits of the Project: Once the above compilation is available, it will provide a basis for students to do all sorts of analyses about the vulnerabilities and opportunities created by climate change.
