Update: 2024-04-24
Description
From City to the World looks at climate change from the skies to the streets: In this episode, hosted by CCNY President Vincent Boudreau, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Prof. Kyle C. McDonald outlines his collaboration with NASA through research and the new NISAR satellite mission's revolutionary capabilities. Since NISAR findings on climate effects will be public, how can this data be harnessed by organizations advocating on the ground for sound policy and environmental justice? Peggy Shepard, a national leader in training, mobilizing and inspiring urban communities that often suffer disproportionately from climate impacts, details the mission and achievements of WEACT.org for Environmental Justice, which she leads. Learn about Shepard's work in Harlem and other under-resourced New York City communities as well as in the policy arena, through Shepard's national advisory roles and WEACT's office in Washington, D.C.
