Environmental and Climate Justice

ISS is committed to advancing climate justice through collaborative action. 

Assisting Native American Businesses with Pollution Reduction. This innovative project supports Native American-owned and -serving businesses in transitioning to safer, more sustainable products, such as cleaning supplies and construction materials. Funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the initiative is a partnership between ISS, PSU's Institute on Tribal Government, and the Northwest Native American Chamber of Commerce. Together, these partners are co-creating a culturally-relevant curriculum with Indigenous community members to promote sustainable procurement practices. Businesses will also receive technical assistance, including tailored procurement resources and guidance on implementing sustainable solutions. This project not only aims to reduce pollution but also fosters long-term economic and environmental benefits for Indigenous communities.
