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 EJ 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 in a conversation about how NYC as a city will advance their climate and environmental justice agendas in the short, medium and long term.

Speakers include:

Peggy Shepard, EJAB Chair and Executive Director, WEACT for Environmental Justice

Joel Towers, Co-Chair of the NPCC and Tishman Center Director

Dr. Christian Braneon, Co-Chair, NPCC and Data Scientist

Dr. Ana Baptista, NPCC member and Tishman Center Associate Director

Adriana Espinoza, Sr. Advisor for EJ, Mayor's Office of Climate Policy
