2022 Waterfront Conference

Studies increasingly show that the most severe repercussions from the climate crisis fall disproportionately upon underserved communities that are the least able to prepare for, and recover from, heat waves, poor air quality, flooding, and other impacts. The opening program features Dr. Christian Braneon, who consider the intersection of policies, infrastructure, and governance with disproportionate impacts and equitable solutions across vulnerable populations. NYC Economic Development Corporation president Andrew Kimball also delivers remarks.
