Christopher Schell, a professor in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, has been selected as a chapter lead for the forthcoming National Nature Assessment. An urban ecologist who studies the social-ecological factors affecting wildlife and people in cities, Schell will guide a team of global experts from universities, research institutes, NGOs, and government agencies to write the assessment's Nature and Equity chapter. The section will delve further into the widening “nature gap” perpetuated across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic strata, review the past and present processes disproportionately affecting nature access, and provide recommendations based in environmental justice praxis. https://lnkd.in/g9GrRESu

🌍 In honor of Earth Day today, I'm pleased to share that Ecology Law Quarterly Currents has published my new law review article, “Pour Decisions: Legal Reform for America’s Lead in Drinking Water Crisis,” which focuses on the critical issue of lead contamination in our drinking water. This Earth Day, let's raise awareness and advocate for cleaner, safer water sources for ALL.

Bereziivka City Council in Odesa Oblast became the third this year, after Taiirovska (Odesa) and Vashkivtsi (Chernivtsi), to receive a project for the Strategy of Environmental Safety and Adaptation to Climate Change until 2030, supported by SOMBRILLA and the RcErBs Fund in Lubny. We are grateful to our constant partners, the Department of Ecology at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, who actively assist communities in preparing green recovery measures. We believe that through joint efforts, we can achieve significant results in the recovery and development of our regions. In the future, we plan to involve other communities interested in implementing environmental initiatives. It is crucial not only to ensure the active participation of local authorities in the development and implementation of strategies but also to inform the public about the importance of environmental safety and involve local residents in projects. In these challenging times, it is necessary to demonstrate to active communities the tools for financing. Attracting investments to implement the measures outlined in the strategies. Funding opportunities for such measures exist, and communities should understand that there is no need to wait for the end of the war, but to act now.
