Excited to embark on this 5-year US Department of Energy funded project! We will identify and monitor energy justice indicators on the community effects of offshore wind development in the US, partnering with community organizations in New Bedford, New London, & Brooklyn.

Fantastic research opportunity at IGS - please share with anyone looking for a postdoc. Bonus if the candidate has a background in offshore wind, energy justice, or community engagement.

It's a big week ahead with the inaugural CAFÉ Climate & Health Conference kicking off! IGS is leading community engagement for this major research initiative by Boston University School of Public Health & Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Join our global climate change and health community of practice at climatehealthcafe.org.

Environmental justice isn't just a concept, it's action. This guidance will help shape our policy decisions and create clean, healthy communities and a large, diverse workforce across Massachusetts. bit.ly/EJStrategy

Leaders from a variety of backgrounds, including IGS Executive Director Rebecca Pearl-Martinez, discussed the gap between #GreenEnergy innovation and real-world implementation at a panel Tufts Energy Conference. Thank you to the panelists for an informative conversation.

Thought-provoking discussion across clean tech, equity, and Justice40. And I’m always pleased to see an all-women panel at an energy conference ;) Many thanks Tufts University for bringing us all together.

The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy invites proposals for original research that examines the challenges and implications of land-based climate change mitigation responses to promote action that is more effective and equitable.
