Connecting Communities: Exploring Possibilities of Investing Now for Prosperous, Sustainable Neighborhoods
October 10 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm EDT
There are historic and systemic factors that have led—and still contribute—to climate vulnerability in lower-income communities. But there are practical solutions for clean energy, resilience, and equity.
In 2024, The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in collaboration with Enterprise Community Partners and Local Initiatives Support Collaboration (LISC), published a volume of essays about the intersection of community development and climate resilience.
Join New York Fed Staff and community leaders for a discussion about solutions to address urgent climate and community needs that affect vulnerable and lower-wealth communities of color.
