According to the World Green Building Council, “cities account for 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions, consume 60% of resources and generate 50% of waste. An urgent response to climate change and it’s impact on humanity requires efforts by stakeholders across borders and sectors to accelerate a human- and eco-centric response to environmental solutions.”

Community
The need to affect environmental equity and sustainability within our communities is vital. It requires viewing community resilience from a wholistic perspective, reshaping ideas around increasing access to resources and supporting inclusion. My particular focus is underserved neighborhoods that bear the brunt of the negative impact of climate disasters. Historically, affluent communities with access to technology and resources can adapt and recover faster following climate emergencies than economically disadvantaged ones.
Neighborhoods with limited access to resources need resilience planning and support the most. At a “peaceful space inc”, we focus on helping local governments and community organizations develop plans and tools to equalize the gap and support the whole community,
