This panel explores the integration of intergenerational justice and environmental justice. Incorporating intergenerational justice in environmental justice action centers elder knowledge, engages older adults as stakeholders, and builds coalitions across generations. Case studies will be shared and participants will discuss how these frameworks could inform their research, education, and practice.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will understand the role of older adults as key stakeholders in environmental justice and learn ways to increase their engagement in environmental justice action.
  2. Participants will recognize the centrality of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to environmental justice and discuss opportunities to learn from and incorporate TEK in social work research, education, and/or practice.
  3. Participants will learn how intergenerational justice can be applied to environmental justice action and discuss how this could be applied in their own research, education, and/or practice settings.
