Program Description:

SIT Study Abroad Portugal: Sustainability and Environmental Justice

Explore Portugal’s approach to environmental justice and social equity, challenging conventional ideas about growth, technology, and sustainability. From Lisbon, study urban planning policies that provide equal access to parks, green spaces, and zero-carbon public transportation. Coursework uses a Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus lens to examine integrated resource management. Through site visits and volunteer opportunities, engage with organizations working on climate advocacy, food waste reduction, ocean pollution, and community support.
