 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The North Carolina Environmental Justice (NC EJ) Summit is a forum for collaboration and promotion of partnerships between members of communities impacted by environmental injustice, government officials, lawyers, students, and environmental health researchers. The Summit also seeks to build awareness of and excitement about environmental justice and environmental health. The 2014 NC EJ Summit will be held October 17-18 at the Franklinton Center in Whitakers, NC. The Franklinton Center is located on the site of a former cotton plantation that was converted, in the late 1800s, into a school for the descendants of enslaved Africans who had worked on plantations in the area. The history of the site and its location in the Black Belt of NC provides an appropriate context fo addressing problems of environmental injustice in a location that is proximal to African-American, Hispanic, and low-income white populations that continue to be impacted by pollutants from industry and agriculture, poor housing, lack of access to basic amenities such as public water and sewer, and an excess burden of disposal of wastes predominantly created by urban populations. The 2014 Summit will feature: oral and poster scientific papers sessions, a community speak-out and government listening panel, awards ceremony, panels on environmental health and justice in agriculture, energy, waste disposal and occupational health, and a Youth Summit. The NC EJ Summit is unique because, although environmental scientists and government officials attend and participate, it is driven by the concerns of communities that are impacted by environmental injustice. This conference will promote the capacity of low income communities of color, scientists, policy makers, students and youth to collaborate in environmental health research, educate policy makers and the public on issues of environmental health and justice, and promote environmental sustainability and justice.

 描述（由申请人提供）：北卡罗来纳州环境正义 (NC EJ) 峰会是一个论坛，旨在促进受环境不公正影响的社区成员、政府官员、律师、学生和环境健康研究人员之间的合作和伙伴关系。峰会还旨在提高人们对环境正义和环境健康的认识和兴趣。 2014 年北卡罗来纳州 EJ 峰会将于 10 月 17 日至 18 日在北卡罗来纳州惠特克斯的富兰克林顿中心举行。富兰克林顿中心位于一个前棉花种植园的所在地，该种植园于 1800 年代末改建为一所学校，为曾在该地区种植园工作的非洲奴隶的后裔提供学校。该地点的历史及其位于北卡罗来纳州黑带的位置为解决该地区靠近非裔美国人、西班牙裔和低收入白人人口的环境不公正问题提供了适当的背景，这些问题继续受到工业和农业污染物、住房条件恶劣、缺乏公共供水和下水道等基本设施以及主要由城市产生的废物处理负担过重的影响。 人口。 2014 年峰会将包括：口头和海报科学论文会议、社区发言和政府聆听小组、颁奖典礼、农业、能源、废物处理和职业健康领域的环境健康和正义小组以及青年峰会。北卡罗来纳州 EJ 峰会的独特之处在于，尽管环境科学家和政府官员出席并参与，但它的推动因素是受环境不公正影响的社区的担忧。这次会议将提高低收入有色人种社区、科学家、政策制定者、学生和青年在环境健康研究方面合作的能力，就环境健康和正义问题对政策制定者和公众进行教育，并促进环境的可持续性和正义。
