Students in our program's Environmental Justice class have maintained a multi-year partnership with in South Williamsburg to support the Our Air!/¡Nuestro aire! Campaign, aimed at advancing local environmental justice. Students have worked on projects including the and exploration of potential sources of funding for targeted improvements that would not intensify gentrification pressures in the area. In , students discussed the use of Community Benefits Agreements (CBAs), CDFI funding, developer fees, and a state tax imposed on vacant properties that would go to a community mitigation or green fund. Students have also been involved in an with El Puente.

The national program, housed at the Tishman Environment and Design Center, is informed by the understanding that the unprecedented speed, magnitude, and impact of climate change require redesigning our global economic, social, and political systems. What the world needs now is solutions that transform the extractive systems that cause environmental harm. This fellowship is a two-year experience made up of four six-month phases. Fellows will participate in a combination of virtual and in-person retreats, group coaching sessions, and project-based collaboration.

is a global network of organizations, experts, and activists working for gender equality, women's rights, and climate justice. Gender CC encompasses women and gender experts working in policy, research, and practical implementation at the local, national, and international levels. The organization's work focuses on the intersection of gender and climate in the areas of agriculture, biodiversity, consumption, disaster, energy, forests, extractivism, health, migration, population, tourism, transport, waste, and water. Our program held a that resulted in research collaborations and capstone projects involving our graduate students and Gender CC.

Our program partners with the coalition of organizations that constitute , the group that co-created the exemplary comprehensive compendium Hoodwinked in the Hothouse: Resist False Solutions to Climate Change, Third Edition.

Together we have co-hosted three critical webinars on false climate solutions and stories of people on the frontlines of the climate justice movement:

We are also working with the coalition to create a public curriculum designed to enhance the capacity of organizers, frontline communities, nonprofit environmental organizations, policymakers, and the public to challenge and move beyond false climate solutions and toward system-transformative and equitable solutions.

Our program partners closely with the at Â鶹´«Ã½É«ÇéƬ's Tishman Environment and Design Center. This initiative was inspired by the increasing recognition in scholarly, activist, and scientific and policy spaces that biodiversity protection and climate change mitigation depend on the defense and revitalization of Indigenous land governance and knowledges (IKs). Indigenous peoples and allies around the world are organizing to challenge and change policies at the local and global levels, confront powerful interests, defend community lands, restore Indigenous self-determination, and revitalize IKs.

We collaborate with the (IPCB), on the Texas Gulf Coast, with the goal of strengthening their capacity to mobilize against Enbridge's Line 3 and Line 5 pipelines, which will export fossil fuel to Europe. Enbridge is exporting much of the fossil fuel from the Corpus Christi area, on the Gulf Coast of Texas. The IPCB are seeking to strengthen their mobilizations against these transnational export terminals. We hosted a brown-bag event called , featuring IPCB speakers and facilitated by program alum Sabrina Chapa.

The program's Environmental Justice class has an ongoing relationship with the (ICC). In 2022, the class collaborated with the Humanities Action Lab on its environmental justice–related curriculum and, along with Parsons graduate architecture students, worked with the ICC to create content for a traveling exhibition on the issue. This evolving multimedia installation was initially created by a coalition of students, educators, and community leaders in more than 22 cities across the United States and around the world.

We have been working with the to design a curriculum that centers leadership development of and knowledge exchange with Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian American farming and land steward communities in the Northeast. This curriculum design process will result in the creation and delivery of courses that straddle the academic and community spheres by connecting community organizations, practitioners, students, and faculty in learning and knowledge-sharing spaces. It will also involve creating an applied research, information, and knowledge-sharing platform designed to nurture and strengthen BIPOC and QTBIPOC land-based education, stewardship, and food projects. This partnership also includes a research project aimed at supporting the revitalization of Indigenous land care systems through the restoration of Northeastern Indigenous forest garden systems.

The (TNI) is an international research and advocacy organization committed to building a just, democratic, and sustainable planet. For more than 40 years, TNI has served as a unique nexus between social movements, engaged scholars, and policymakers. TNI’s areas of focus include agrarian and environmental justice, Colombia, corporate power, drugs and democracy, Myanmar, and public alternatives, often involving water, trade and investment, and war and pacification. Our program held a brown-bag event in which graduate students met with TNI’s global research team to learn about pertinent projects and pathways of collaboration. This event furthered their experiential learning and enabled them to apply knowledge they have acquired in the classroom in real-world research projects. TNI is working with a number of graduate students on research projects focused on agrarian justice and climate security in the Global South.
