The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice will partner with the Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs at Texas Southern University, in collaboration with thirty-two (32) Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and fifteen (15) community-based organizations, to host the Annual HBCU Climate Education Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana on November 13-17, 2019. The Conference addresses the significant need for climate education for HBCU students who are largely under-represented in scholarship in climate science, but over-represented as members of communities most vulnerable to climate impacts. Conference sessions will explore the dynamics of racial, social, public health and economic disparities in the wake of climate-related disasters, serving as a call to action for students at HBCUs to become engaged in the conversation around climate impacts and equity.The aim of the Conference is to bridge the gap between theory and the experiential realities of climate impacts by bringing together HBCU faculty and students, researchers, climate scientists, and environmental justice and coastal community residents impacted by climate related issues (e.g., severe weather events). The major purpose of the Conference is four-fold: (1) introduce HBCU students to climate science; (2) engage students with Gulf Coast communities experiencing climate impacts; (3) engage students in professional development elements through the presentation of research findings; and (4) interact with and learn from professional experts in the field. The Conference is a one-of-a-kind national meeting that strives to create synergy between academia and vulnerable communities; contribute to addressing chronic or emerging challenges related to climate impacts in coastal regions and port cities that can be exacerbated by energy extraction operations and natural disasters; and foster the development of leadership and communication skills, competencies in science literacy, and capabilities of participating HBCU students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

南部环境正义中心将与德克萨斯州南部大学的芭芭拉·乔丹·米克基·利兰（Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland）公共事务学院合作，与32（32）历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCUS）（HBCUS）和15（15）个基于社区的组织合作，以举办年度HBCU气候教育会议在New Orleans举行的年度范围内，在11月13日至11月13日至13日。 HBCU的学生在气候科学领域的奖学金中的代表性不足，但人数过多地是最容易受到气候影响的社区成员。 Conference sessions will explore the dynamics of racial, social, public health and economic disparities in the wake of climate-related disasters, serving as a call to action for students at HBCUs to become engaged in the conversation around climate impacts and equity.The aim of the Conference is to bridge the gap between theory and the experiential realities of climate impacts by bringing together HBCU faculty and students, researchers, climate scientists, and environmental justice and受气候相关问题影响的沿海社区居民（例如恶劣天气事件）。会议的主要目的是四个方面：（1）向HBCU学生介绍气候科学； （2）让学生与墨西哥湾沿岸社区互动，遭受气候影响； （3）通过提出研究结果，让学生参与专业发展元素； （4）与该领域的专业专家进行互动并学习。会议是一次独一无二的全国会议，努力在学术界和弱势社区之间建立协同作用。有助于解决与沿海地区和港口城市气候影响有关的慢性或新兴挑战，这些挑战可能会因能量提取行动和自然灾害而加剧；并促进了领导能力和沟通技巧的发展，科学素养方面的能力以及参与HBCU学生的能力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估评估来通过评估来支持的。
