Our work on Urban Climate Justice seeks to understand how the changing urban climate creates and exacerbates vulnerabilities to health and wellbeing. The CGHC works to prevent and mitigate some of those vulnerabilities through an interdisciplinary approach that combines action-research and environmental/social justice with urban science.
The Richmond Rising evaluation is part of California’s Transformative Climate Communities initiative. The CGHC is the lead evaluator for the City of Richmond, Richmond Rising project. The evaluation entails tracking progress on how 13 different community-based interventions are supporting greater climate justice, improving community resilience and promoting economic opportunities.
