Achieving a Healthy & Sustainable Future

November 19th, 20th, 2025

Community at the Environmental Health Leadership Summit
Welcome to the Summit

This year’s Environmental Health Leadership Summit celebrates the power of community collaboration and shared purpose. Together we will explore environmental justice principles, civic engagement, community benefits, zero emissions transportation, training a just transition workforce, and include opportunities for you to connect with community, advocates, professionals, and experts.

As the development of the Lithium Valley continues, we remain mindful of the historical challenges our communities faced. The promise of cleaner energy , zero-emission technologies, and high-road jobs offers a generational opportunity to transform our local economy. We must ensure that progress does not come at the expense of our fenceline communities. True transformation means our community directly benefits. We are guardians of our environment, entrusted to protect , restore and leave it stronger for future generations to come.

We don’t ask to become leaders and advocate for our communities, and our communities don’t ask to become environmental justice waypoints. But we step up when the challenge comes.
