Environmental justice in Lima: Co-learning for action:

Every year, students from MSc. Environment and Sustainable Development at DPU, embark on a fieldtrip to a country in the Global South. Supported by prior research, the fieldwork synthesizes hands-on experience of using the skills, concepts, theories and techniques of environmental justice for development. 

This year the research aims to understand the relations between water, risk and urban development and how environmental injustices are produced and can be tackled; by exploring scenarios and strategies imbedded in the wider socio-political, economic and ecological processes, with the potential for transformative change.

Four case studies: Cantagallo, Barrios Altos, Jose Carlos Mariátegui and Huaycán were chosen with our local partners and offer unique readings of Lima.
