As marginalized communities continue to bear disproportionate impacts from environmental hazards, we urgently call for researchers and institutions to elevate the principles of Environmental Justice. The American Geophysical Union (AGU) GeoHealth section supports members' engagement in health-related community-engaged and community-led transdisciplinary research. We highlight intersectional research that provides examples and actions for both individuals and organizations on community science and trust building, removing barriers created by scientific agency priorities and career expectations, and opportunities in education and policy. Justice does not start or end at one meeting; this is ongoing work that is active, evolving, and an ethical responsibility of AGU's membership.
由于边缘化社区持续承受着环境危害带来的不成比例的影响,我们紧急呼吁研究人员和机构提升环境正义原则。美国地球物理联盟(AGU)地球健康分会支持成员参与与健康相关的社区参与和社区主导的跨学科研究。我们强调交叉性研究,它为个人和组织提供了关于社区科学和建立信任的实例与行动,消除科学机构优先事项和职业期望造成的障碍,以及教育和政策方面的机遇。正义并非始于或止于一次会议;这是一项持续的工作,是积极的、不断发展的,也是AGU成员的一项道德责任。
