April 6, 2021. 12:00 PM. Webinar: Redlining and the Climate Crisis. Jeremy Hoffman, Science, Science Museum of Virginia; Vivek Shandas, Portland State University; Charles Lee, US EPA. Sponsored by US EPA Office of Environmental Justice. Information and Access Link Here.

Reviewing a recent study on the correlation of redlined areas and the location of urban heat islands will discuss their participatory research on the spatial distribution of climate impacts, involving communities in measuring heat in cities. This interdisciplinary approach offers a compelling perspective on how scientists and residents seek to address disproportionate vulnerability emerging from climate change.
