Currently resisting the urge to cheer 🙌 during @HarvardChanSPH Gina McCarthy's rousing keynote speech about designing a future where everybody can prosper. #vision #BUSUS2019 #fangirling

Roseann Bongiovanni @GreenRootsEJ reminds us efforts at community level to improve environmental health & justice can lead to #displacement & #gentrification. How can policy & practice help people stay? More $ for #affordablehousing, inclusionary #zoning. #BUSUS2019

Vulnerable populations, esp w health problems, limited resources & in flood/coast zones are most at risk for climate-related impacts. The good news? Massachusetts has tons of tools to help: http://www.resilientma.org/resources/resource::2156 @MassEEA @ComResBuilding #BUSUS2019...

Lindsey Tucker @MassDPH- most investment is in health services 🏥, when 70% of health comes from health behaviors and environment you live in 🏞 🏙. Place matters. Need multi sector collaboration to address social determinants of health. #BUSUS2019

Kate Elliott @NACTO- We need to try things & measure them. You can use data to tell stories and flip the narrative. You can use data to hold institutions accountable. Talking transpo, but I'd say these concepts apply to changing anything #socialscience #scicomm #BUSUS2019

Former Rep @mikecapuano-- we need people in elected office who can see beyond their term, with courage to forgo short term political benefits & focus on getting to yes on transformational projects #BUSUS2019 #vision

Last week #OneCape @CCCommission. This week, #BUSUS2019 @BU_Urbanclimate. Same issues, very different context but @CurtSpalding slide on thinking in social-ecological systems applies in the big city too. #systems #cities #resilience #housing #infrastructure
