You're invited: The 2026 Environmental Summit — From Knowledge to Action: Implementing Science, Justice, and Healing — moves beyond documenting environmental harm toward implementation, bridging science and on-the-ground reality so that justice and healing become lived experiences across our region.

Convening in the Hill District, Hazelwood, and Homewood, the summit is rooted in communities where implementation matters most, centering our three pillars: Science, Justice, and Healing.

This summit is a collaborative effort by the Cancer and Environment Network of Southwestern Pennsylvania (CENSWPA) and the University of Pittsburgh Center for Public Health Practice.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
