COVID, Climate, Children & Schools: Focus on Climate. National Healthy Schools Summit 2022
Healthy Schools Network, Inc.
Healthy Schools Network hosted the second national virtual summit "COVID, Climate, Children & Schools: Focus on Climate" in April 2022. Over two afternoons, the summit elevated key issues of environment, health, and education justice that have come into sharper focus during the COVID and climate crises. Nearly three hundred people joined the summit. This growing base of informed advocates from forty-five states included seventy-three representatives of local schools, seventy-five representatives of public agencies, and eighty-seven representatives of NGOs as well as attendees from several countries in the EU, plus India and Nigeria. The stellar line-up of keynoters, moderators, and panelists included the vice presidents of the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, the co-chair of ASHRAE's climate task force (the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers is the international standard-setting body on indoor air), and the Academy of Pediatrics' designee Lisa Patel, MD, discussing climate impacts on children. The national panel of environmental justice activists included several from the Navajo Nation. In all, a diverse array of thirty speakers participated in the summit, more than half of whom were people of color. [Additional sponsors of the summit include: Children's Environmental Health Network, Sierra Club, and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Summit Contributors included ASHRAE and the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals.]
