项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Dillard University Deep South Center for Environmental Justice will convene our 3rd Annual HBCU Student Conference 2015 Bridging the Gap between Climate Change Theory and Experience. The conference will be held on the campus of Dillard University, March 30 - April 3, 2015. While the fact of climate change is no longer subject to dispute, students at HBCUs need opportunities to engage with researchers and scientists about the expected impacts of climate change. Eleven major international studies conducted from 1987 to 2002 all predict significant climate change-induced hazards, including increased flooding, higher mean atmospheric temperatures, higher global mean sea levels, increased precipitation, increased droughts, increased atmospheric moisture-holding capacity, increased heat waves, increased strength of storms, more energetic waves, storm surges that reach further inland, under-capacity of urban sewerage and drainage systems, increased blight, increased vulnerability of port cities, and disproportionate impacts on disadvantaged population segments. HBCU students and faculty, many of whom are from disadvantaged communities, should be exposed to the impacts climate change could have in their communities and in other population segments. Our conference intends to offer such an experience. Our first objective is to educate HBCU students to become leaders and advocates for climate-impacted communities. Our second objective is to educate HBCU students on issues related to disproportionate exposure to toxins, health disparities, climate change and its impacts, climate justice, adaptation, community resilience, and other major climate change adaptation and mitigation topics. The conference will bring together students, Environmental Justice and coastal community residents impacted by toxic facilities and severe weather events related to climate change, in order to bridge the gap between theory and the experiential realities of climate change. Student participants will engage in the following activities at the conference:  Panels and plenaries led by experts in the field;  Tours/interactions with Gulf Coast communities currently impacted by climate change as well as EJ communities living with toxins;  HBCU student panel presentations on climate change and EJ research projects utilizing TRI data; and  HBCU student poster session highlighting the conduct of research projects and their findings Students are also introduced to the concept of Climate Justice which involves a complete understanding of how and why some communities are disproportionately impacted by climate change. In the context of this project, one must include a total examination of the African-American condition as it relates to toxic exposure and environmental health impacts. The interconnections between living near, toxic facilities and their contribution to the production of greenhouse gases (Co pollutants) is an important concept for students to understand within the construct of Climate Justice. Additionally, students are able to assess the increased health risks that African-Americans are exposed to by living near TRI facilities and living with the impacts of climate change.

描述（由申请人提供）：迪拉德大学深南环境正义中心将于 3 月 30 日在迪拉德大学校园召开 2015 年第三届 HBCU 学生会议，弥合气候变化理论与经验之间的差距。 2015 年 4 月 3 日。虽然气候变化这一事实已不再存在争议，但 HBCU 的学生需要有机会与研究人员和科学家讨论气候的预期影响1987 年至 2002 年进行的 11 项重大国际研究都预测了气候变化引起的重大灾害，包括洪水增加、平均大气温度升高、全球平均海平面升高、降水增加、干旱增加、大气持水能力增加、热量增加。波浪、风暴强度增强、波浪强度更大、风暴潮进一步深入内陆、城市污水和排水系统能力不足、枯萎病增加、港口城市脆弱性增加以及对弱势群体的影响过大。 HBCU 的学生和教师中的许多人来自弱势社区，他们应该了解气候变化可能对其社区和其他人群产生的影响，我们的首要目标是教育 HBCU 学生了解气候变化可能对他们的社区和其他人群产生的影响。成为受气候影响社区的领导者和倡导者我们的第二个目标是教育 HBCU 学生了解与过度接触毒素、健康差异、气候变化及其影响、气候正义、适应、社区复原力和其他主要气候变化适应相关的问题。和缓解措施会议将汇集受有毒设施和与气候变化有关的恶劣天气事件影响的学生、环境正义和沿海社区居民，以弥合气候变化理论与现实之间的差距。会议上进行了以下活动：  由该领域专家领导的小组和全体会议；  与目前受气候变化影响的墨西哥湾沿岸社区以及受毒素影响的 EJ 社区进行参观/互动；  HBCU 学生小组关于气候变化和利用 TRI 数据的 EJ 研究项目的演讲； HBCU 学生海报会议强调了研究项目的开展及其研究结果。学生还将了解气候正义的概念，其中包括全面了解一些社区如何以及为何受到气候变化的不成比例的影响。必须包括对非裔美国人状况的全面检查，因为它与有毒物质暴露和环境健康影响有关。居住在有毒设施附近及其对生产的贡献之间的相互关系。温室气体（二氧化碳污染物）的排放量是学生在气候正义的构建中理解的一个重要概念。此外，学生能够评估非裔美国人因居住在 TRI 设施附近并承受其影响而面临的健康风险增加。气候变化。
