Transitioning From Urban Climate Action to Climate Equity
Problem, research strategy, and findings Historically, urban climate action plans have not focused on residents who are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change: neighborhoods of people of color and low-income communities, also known as frontline communities.

Further, the organization in Pittsburgh has been active in creating a national-leve…
