Why Inclusiveness is Important to the Environmental Movement and Environmental Education

CAEE is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work. We live in a complex, interconnected world where demographics are shifting to create a new fabric of modern society. The coming together of people of different ethnicities with different experiences creates a dynamic environment – one that fosters engagement and innovation and drives performance. In the field of Environmental Education, we think it is imperative to create a professional field that mirrors the diversity found in our natural systems.
