Description

In the first part of this episode, we talk with Rhea Goswami, co-founder of the Environmental Justice Coalition (EJC), about why youth engagement is so important, especially when working to address climate change and climate injustices, how MCH can engage with young people, the importance and impact that environmental health has on MCH populations, and the need for environmental and media literacy skills for children and youth. In the second part of the episode, we chat with one of Rhea’s mentors, Dr. Megan Latshaw in the Department of Environmental Health & Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, about networking, the connection between environmental health and MCH, environmental justice, and what MCH professionals can do.Resources:EJC's InstagramEJC's Podcast "A Cup of EJ"Children's Environmental Health Day panel interview with RheaMaryland Environmental Human Rights Amendment Toolkit (co-authored by Rhea)
