This webinar highlighted the momentum of efforts around climate change and pollution mitigation, what interventions state and local governments are currently implementing, and opportunities for collaboration between researchers and state and local agencies.

With the United States as the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, reducing emissions within North America is essential to addressing the dual challenges of poverty and climate change around the world. In the United States, structural disparities and discrimination have led to low-income populations and people of color disproportionately experiencing a range of climate change-related hazards such as air and water pollution and elevated risk of harm from extreme heat and weather events.

On this webinar, researchers and government leaders discussed innovative approaches to combat climate change, including pricing and conservation policies in the water and electricity sectors, and regulation compliance strategies to decrease pollutants. They also discussed the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and how such partnerships can advance rigorous research to identify effective approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, decrease carbon co-pollutants, and lower the burden that climate change poses for vulnerable populations.
