In Fort Collins, our community actively engages with global issues through local events and initiatives, reflecting a commitment to understanding and addressing worldwide challenges.
Environmental Justice Conference
In April 2026, Colorado State University’s Center for Environmental Justice hosted the ‘Global EJ Conference: Where Do We Grow From Here? Environmental Justice and the Politics of Hope in the Planetary Age.’ This hybrid event brought together scholars, students, and advocates to discuss environmental justice, emphasizing the importance of global collaboration in tackling environmental challenges.

Also in April, CSU’s Office of International Programs organized the 70th annual World Unity Fair. This free event celebrated global cultures through international food, cultural performances, music, and activities, fostering a sense of global community and understanding among attendees.
