How the NYC Climate Justice Hub Works
Communities
Six grassroots NYC-EJA member organizations set climate justice-oriented campaigns and priorities based on the needs of their communities.
Campuses
A university network of 25 colleges contribute resources to help fulfill the NYC-EJA member organizations’ campaigns and priorities
NYC Climate Justice Hub
Through this collaboration, three core programs developed by the Hub serve NYC-EJA member organizations and NYC’s environmental justice communities.
NYC-EJA Member Organizations
CUNY
Outputs from the Hub’s programs are invested directly into supporting NYC-EJA member organizations and their agendas.
The NYC Climate Justice Hub uses the Jemez Principles and Principles of Environmental Justice to center NYC community members’ needs to transform CUNY and other institutions in NYC In how they teach, learn, and conduct research about climate issues. An extremely diverse and NYC-centered institution, CUNY is positioned to be a partner to NYC-EJA in this work, especially given the fact that many students and faculty at CUNY live and work in the neighborhoods that NYC EJA member organizations serve.
