- A just society is embedded within the vision of a sustainable future as it is critical to “enhance well-being for present and future generations”.
- Formal and informal networks of U-M community members are needed to advance sustainability.
- Clear articulation of the importance of social equity in sustainability mobilizes support and resources.
- Community-driven processes are important to achieve equity and sustainability
- The Environmental field suffers from inequity (Green 2.0 Report)
- Green Ceiling
- Unconscious Bias, Discrimination, and Insular Recruiting
- Lackluster Effort and Disinterest in Addressing Diversity
