Our Five Aims :
- Educate and empower communities through collaborative research, partnerships, and interactive learning materials on climate change, extreme heat, resilience, and health.
- Understand how residents perceive risks, adopt protective behaviors, and experience health impacts during climate emergencies.
- Assess neighborhood vulnerability to climate change using innovative spatial methods that analyze extreme heat, temperature variations, and air pollution patterns using remote sensing data.
- Expand community air monitoring in climate justice neighborhoods to collect detailed temperature data and share this information through the web platforms, interactive maps, text alerts, and social media.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of community workshops to shift knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding public health protection, using surveys and interviews.
