Green Infrastructure = Nature-Based Solutions. Trees & GI can store carbon emissions driving the climate crisis, absorb harmful pollutants, provide cooling & shading, & retain stormwater to protect our waterways! #ClimateJusticeAgenda #JustNatureNYC Read: https://bit.ly/2qFLAIE
Investments in #CoastalResiliency is not meeting the pace of urgent climate risks. Eight years after Hurricane Sandy, New Yorkers are still waiting for needed coastal protections & shoreline resiliency. #WorkingWaterfronts #ClimateJusticeAgenda Read more: https://bit.ly/2qFLAIE
Extreme Heat is deadly, more so for low-income communities of color. NYC-EJA's #ClimateJusticeAgenda calls for a dedicated funding stream for extreme heat community preparedness. #climatejustice @THEPOINTCDC @NYCSpeakerCoJo @nycHealthy @NYCHA Read it here: https://bit.ly/2qFLAIE
Our #ClimateJusticeAgenda calls on @NYCPlanning to protect remaining industrial waterfront from private developers. These zones are vital for a #JustTransition to a regenerative economy & support local manufacturing needs during emergencies like COVID-19. https://bit.ly/2qFLAIE
We MUST fund organics collection from all residences, including NYCHA; build local organics processing capacity; improve anaerobic digestion capacity; & support microhauling. http://bit.ly/2qFLAIE #ClimateJusticeAgenda #localizewaste...
NYC-EJA is very troubled by @NYCMayor Admin’s continued de-prioritization of organics collection, even prior to COVID-19. NYC generates too much waste to continue carelessly discarding one-third of its waste stream. #ClimateJusticeAgenda Read more here: http://bit.ly/2qFLAIE
The @NYCEJAlliance report highlights how COVID-19 foreshadows future risks exacerbated by climate change, where low-income communities of color, & other marginalized groups, are hit first & worst. #HealthEquity #ClimateJusticeAgenda Read it here: https://bit.ly/2qFLAIE
Frontline communities are leading by example, confronting the climate crisis with projects that increase community resiliency such as cooperative solar projects, local green industrial waterfront plans, & food cooperatives. #ClimateJusticeAgenda Read it: https://bit.ly/2qFLAIE
Our new #ClimateJusticeAgenda report demands that NYC accelerate & scale-up solutions for a #JustTransition, equitably tackle emissions, support climate adaptation for frontline communities, & create green jobs. Read here: https://bit.ly/2qFLAIE
Over half of all NYCHA residents are at highest risk of heat vulnerability. Read more in our 2018 NYC #ClimateJusticeAgenda :
