Throughout history, Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities have led movements and delivered solutions on issues including environmental hazards, climate change, and environmental justice. In the face of racism and discrimination, Asian-American and Pacific Islander environmental leaders have mobilized communities into action and created change. Even while the mainstream environmental movement excluded them on decisions that impacted their lives, Asian-American and Pacific Islander leaders continued to redefine a vision for what environmental justice could be. Join Green 2.0 and NRDC for a discussion with Asian-American and Pacific Islander leaders in the environmental sector about cultivating a movement that is grounded in equity and justice.
