Where Do We Grow From Here? Environmental Justice and the Politics of Hope in the
Planetary Age
Preliminary EJ Global Conference Schedule
April 13-14, 2026
The Center for Environmental Justice at CSU, together with our global partners, announces and welcomes you to join us for an extraordinary gathering to continue the dialogue and inspire action on environmental justice.
This hybrid gathering relaunches the series of conferences on environmental justice (EJ) that was envisioned by various EJ centers back in 2017 but interrupted by the pandemic. We aim to deepen connections amongst EJ scholars, advocates, and practitioners across South and North, East and West, across different political and theoretical traditions and substantive interests.

Thanks to CEJ Co-Founder, Melinda Laituri, we have mapped where the global conference presenters are from, as well as where their research is being done. Check out the maps!
