We’re talking about climate change and whether its impact is hitting Black communities harder than others. From dangerous heat waves and flash flooding to stronger storms and poor air quality… extreme weather is becoming part of everyday life. Beyond the environmental concerns there are questions about equity, health, housing, jobs, and economic opportunity. Can investments in climate resilience create safer neighborhoods, good-paying jobs and stronger communities? And what role should we all play in preparing for a changing climate? In this conversation… we explore the challenges and the possible solutions.
