Perspectives on Sustainable Development
Environmental justice and climate change are driving decarbonization across industrial sectors and throughout everyday life. There are many nuanced issues that planners will face as they try to sustainably reshape our world. This podcast will focus on climate and EJ but also bring on associated experts to speak about how these issues affect their fields. From city planning, economic development, transportation, education, national security, mental health, manufacturing, supply chain...we should all be considering how climate and EJ considerations will affect our decision paradigms.
Join me every two weeks as we discuss critical issues with thought leaders who know them best.

Perspectives on Sustainable Development
Episode 8 - The Cleanest Electron is the One You Don't Use
For this episode Chris was joined by Department of Energy expert Kelly Crawford and Dr. Tony Reames (University of Michigan and formerly of DOE). Kelly and Tony are pretty much as good as it gets on energy justice topics, and their decades of experience and passion for the issues shine through in this episode.
We discuss new DOE programs, climate adaptation and mitigation, and energy disparities between EJ areas and non-EJ areas. I love speaking to each of them for their intellect on these topics but also just the sense of hope for being able to provide cleaner more efficient environments for those in need.
This was an incredibly fun and inspiring episode to tape, and as always, we learned quite a bit. We hope you will as well.
