One of the main challenges of data collection related to climate and environmental justice is the lack of reliable, up-to-date data sources. Additionally, it can be difficult to collect data from remote or rural areas where access to resources may be limited. Language barriers and cultural differences can also affect data collection, as can the fact that data may be collected over long periods of time, making it difficult to determine if the data is still relevant. Qualitative methods such as participant observation, in-depth interviews, and focus groups can be used to gain further insight into the data collected. Additionally, sustainable development pathways, supported by effective environmental management, can help mitigate the effects of climate and environmental injustice. To address the issue of corporate and governmental control of data, innovative measures such as carbon taxes can be designed to internalize environmental costs. Finally, nurses can conduct assessments during visits to patients in their homes and places of work to gain first-hand information about environmental factors that may be contributing to health disparities.
