Communities can be stronger than climate change: The barriers and the opportunities

While communities of color, and/or low income are typically faced with multiple physical and social stressors, the impacts and experiences due to climate change adds to the burden being placed on environmental justice communities that are already disproportionately impacted by negative environmental exposures. In an effort to explore the unique dynamics between climate change and environmental justice communities, how these communities are differentially impacted will be discussed, as well as ideas about how to enhance community resilience through partnerships, policy and practice will be explored.
