The ENRICH Project

The ENRICH Project is a non-profit organization based in Canada dedicated to addressing the intersection of environmental racism and climate injustice. Founded in 2012 by Dr. Ingrid Waldron, a professor at McMaster University, the organization focuses its efforts on the social, political, and health impacts these issues have on Black, Indigenous, and other racialized communities. The ENRICH Project works to empower these communities by providing research, education, and advocacy resources. Their work includes research on the disproportionate environmental burdens faced by marginalized groups, educational programs raising awareness about environmental racism, and advocacy efforts aimed at policy changes that promote environmental justice. The organization is committed to community-based approaches, ensuring that the voices and experiences of those most affected by environmental racism are at the heart of their work. They strive to build sustainable solutions that center equity and justice. For more information about The ENRICH Project and their ongoing work, you can visit their website at enrichproject.org.
