Student survey on Climate and Environmental Justice

About this survey

This survey has been put together by 20 CUNY student fellows who want to better understand the landscape of student organizing around environmental justice (EJ), climate justice (CJ) and other intersecting social justice issues across CUNY. We want to hear directly from you about what matters to you and what you want to see change at CUNY and in your communities.

This survey is conducted on behalf of the NYC Climate Justice Hub. Launched in September 2023, the NYC Climate Justice Hub is a partnership between the City University of New York (CUNY)—the nation’s largest public urban university—and the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance (NYC-EJA)—a coalition of grassroots organizations who have led the fight for environmental and climate justice in NYC since 1991. By uniting CUNY and NYC-EJA, the Hub strengthens and fortifies just transition efforts led by frontline communities of color across NYC. Find out more about the Hub here.

Findings from this survey will be used to help inform student projects addressing climate and environmental issues across CUNY. Your answers will remain anonymous and will only be shared with NYC Climate Justice Hub Staff and fellows. This survey should take roughly 12 minutes to fill out.

The findings will not be published or used in a public format without the data being anonymised and does not require Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval.

If you have any questions about the survey then please email us at nycclimatejusticehub@gc.cuny.edu.

We will be running a Climate Justice Summit on Feb 25 2025, please put the date in your calendar!
