With the advancement of the climate crisis and the impact of environmental threats on local communities, understanding environmental terminology, acronyms, and jargon can seem overwhelming.
As a solution-driven organization, NCCSC is excited to offer insight into environmental terminology with definitions and examples commonly used in environmental discussions.
We are dedicated to being a useful tool for people of all backgrounds who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the environmental challenges and solutions that influence their living, working, and recreational environments, and in actively participating in combatting the climate crisis and environmental injustice.
