Program Description:

SIT Study Abroad: Portugal: Sustainability and Environmental Justice (Summer)


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.

Please visit the SIT Study Abroad website for details on the program highlights and details of coursework, educational excursions, and housing.
