Bradford Seminar: “Achieving Mandatory Emissions Reductions for Environmental-Justice Communities Through Climate Change Mitigation Policy”

Nicky Sheats, director of the Center for the Urban Environment at Thomas Edison State University, will present “Achieving Mandatory Emissions Reductions for Environmental-Justice Communities Through Climate Change Mitigation Policy” at 12:15 p.m. Monday, Sept. 28, via Zoom webinar. Register online in advance to receive a webinar link.

Sheats will discuss a policy mechanism that ensures that climate change-mitigation policies improve the health of environmental-justice communities — defined in this presentation as Indigenous, Of-Color, and low-income communities — by reducing emissions of locally harmful greenhouse gas co-pollutants from power plants that impact these areas.

This event is part of the David Bradford Energy and Environmental Policy Seminar Series organized by the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment (C-PREE) in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and co-sponsored by PEI. Sheats’ talk also is co-sponsored by Princeton’s Office of Sustainability.
