Climate Justice in NYC: A Discussion with the Climate Change and Environmental Justice Leaders

How do we advance environmental and climate justice goals as a city? This is a question that the NYC administration is looking to address in many ways, one of the which is the appointment of environmental justice leaders to posts in their offices like the Office of Climate Policy and Programs and appointments to bodies like the NYC Panel on Climate Change (NPCC). 

Join representatives from these groups – Joel Towers, Co-Chair of the NPCC, Director, Tishman Center, Dr. Ana Baptista, NPCC member of Tishman Center, Associate Director, Dr. Christian Braneon, Co-Chair of the NPCC, Data Scientist, Adriana Espinoza, Sr. Advisor for EJ, Mayor’s Office of Climate Policy, Peggy Shepard, Executive Director, WEACT for Environmental Justice – in a conversation about how NYC as a city will advance their climate and environmental justice agendas in the short, medium and long term. 

This session is presented by Tishman Environment and Design Center
