Environmental justice is a critical and growing area of nursing practice, deeply connected to health equity, planetary health, and the social determinants of health. Nurses are uniquely positioned to recognize and respond to the disproportionate impacts of environmental harm on marginalized and equity-deserving communities. In this webinar, Alysha Jones, June Kaminski, and Ankur Patel will explore how intersectionality shapes environmental health outcomes and what this means for nursing practice across settings.
