About this episode
The episode discusses practical solutions for investing in sustainable neighborhoods to address climate vulnerability in lower-income communities.
October 10, 2024. Historical and systemic factors have led to and still contribute to climate vulnerability in lower-income communities. But there are practical solutions for clean energy, resilience, and equity. In 2024, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in collaboration with Enterprise Community Partners and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), published a volume of essays about the intersection of community development and climate resilience. During this Connecting Communities webinar, New York Fed Staff and community leaders discussed solutions to address urgent climate and community needs that affect vulnerable and lower-wealth communities of color.
