Goal of Workshop 2.1

Define Carleton’s role in addressing environmental impacts on people and society


Tasks & Discussion Questions:

Discuss goals and strategies for:

  • Defining intersections between environmental, social, and racial justice
  • Carleton’s role in local / regional issues and solutions
  • Carleton’s role in national / global issues and solutions
  • Investing and divesting

Discussion Questions:

  • How do we define environmental justice from a Carleton perspective?
  • How does this definition shift the lens through which we view the Carleton climate action plan – both the operations/carbon reduction piece and the curriculum/education piece?
  • How can we integrate environmental justice concepts throughout the plan?
    • A “people, planet, profit” justification for each section?
    • An overarching environmental justice mission statement or one for each section?
  • What are some tangible actions that can be taken and/or written into the plan?
