Are you a graduate student (master’s, doctoral, post-doc) or recent graduate (five years from a terminal degree) interested in understanding how climate justice connects to your research, work, or life? The Climate Equity and Resilience Summer Institute (CERSI) invites you to a transformative three-week summer program designed to deepen your knowledge and grow your community.

From June 16–July 4, 2025, participants will get to explore climate justice through immersive field trips and hands-on workshops, all while building meaningful connections with others passionate about environmental justice in a variety of contexts.

What you’ll gain:

• A deeper understanding of what social, climate, and environmental justice means across different scales and contexts.
• Concrete tools and practices to address and deconstruct power dynamics that influence relationships between academia and communities.
• A supportive network of scholars and practitioners committed to solidarity, equity, and justice in their work.

What to expect:

• Field trips that bring theory to life in real-world settings.
• Lectures and workshops led by a diverse group of experts and practitioners.
• A collaborative, justice-oriented learning environment on UW Seattle’s campus and at Pack Forest (near Mount Rainier).

CERSI is hosted by the Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative at the UW Climate Impacts Group and is supported by EarthLab.

Scholarships, stipends, and housing support are available to make this opportunity accessible for eligible participants.

Learn more and apply by the March 17th deadline at https://bit.ly/CERSI25. Priority will be given to applications received before February 28th.
