How to Create Efficient Cities: Planning Environmental & Climate Justice

PLANNING ENVIRONMENTAL & CLIMATE JUSTICE

A Future You Can Build

Join grassroots leaders from UPROSE, Nyiesha Mallett (Climate Justice Hub Organizer) and Nebraska Hernandez (Climate Justice Hub Advocate) in conversation with Pratt Institute Professor and New York City Planning Commissioner Juan Camilo Osorio as they discuss the most pressing opportunities and challenges to achieving environmental & climate justice in Brooklyn. 

Structured as an informal cafe-style conversation, presenters will define key concepts and showcase concrete examples to mobilize and take climate action. The discussion will explore the urban planning proposals put forth by UPROSE’s GREEN RESILIENT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT and engage the audience in preparation for the upcoming  “CLIMATE JUSTICE LIVES HERE!” community festival taking place on September 28th, 2024, in Sunset Park.

NOTE: This program is now in Central Library's Dweck Center.
