Event Overview

Across New York City, women and gender-expansive people of color are experiencing the impact of climate change and increasingly severe weather events. Though there are policies in place to ameliorate the impact of a warming planet, there is a gap between these ideals and the realities women and gender-expansive people of color face, particularly in residentially segregated, historically marginalized neighborhoods.

The New York Women’s Foundation conducted a landscape analysis which presents a set of recommendations to implement equitable approaches to mitigating the climate crisis while allocating resources to communities as they deepen their climate resilience.

Join us virtually for a discussion with the report’s author and leading environmental justice advocates on:
  • Economic benefits of green industries engaging women and gender-expansive people of color in urban settings
  • Community leadership in decision-making regarding public land use, green infrastructure, urban farming, and renewable energy
  • Pathways for collaboration and investment among funders, community members, youth leaders, and policymakers to advance environmental and economic justice
