Environmental Justice and Climate Justice: Animal Case Study

• In Event: Poster Session

Abstract

When we study climate and environmental justice, we often study the impact human beings have. Especially when looking at the subject of environmental justice, we study the impact that low-income or minority communities have. However, climate and environmental justice also impact animals. For example, previously, Dr. Elizabeth Overcash published a research regarding how to apply environmental justice to factory farm animals. Through this, we can learn how animal right concerns can be covered through the topic of environmental justice. This research will conduct multiple case studies to understand the impact of environmental and climate justice for animals.
