WOHESC Social Justice, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement
The organizers of the Washington Oregon Higher Education Sustainability Conference (WOHESC) recognize the interconnection of environmental and social justice problems and the societal structures that cause them both. We know that sustainability efforts to date have often ignored the voices of certain stakeholders and are built on existing inequalities. The WOHESC program aims to do better by presenting sustainability thoughts, research, and initiatives that focus on just and equitable economies, healthy and clean environments, and inclusive and fair societies. We are mindful of the fact that the most vulnerable and marginalized people will experience the worst effects of a changing climate. We assert that creating a more just and equitable world is fundamental to tackling sustainability issues. We strive to weave diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout conference thematic elements, speakers, and attendees to uplift the perspectives of those working at the intersections of social justice and environmentalism to create a more sustainable world for everyone.
