Just Environmentalism: PhD Candidate Claudia Diezmartínez Peregrina and Assoc. Professor Anne Short Gianotti Publish in Nature Communications

CAS researchers say more cities are putting equity and justice in their plans to address climate change. Will those plans lead to action?”

In 2022, PhD Candidate Claudia Diezmartínez Peregrina and Associate Professor Anne Short Gianotti published their article, “US cities increasingly integrate justice into climate planning and create policy tools for climate justice”, in Nature Communications. Recently, they and their research were profiled by the BU College of Arts and Sciences:

“We see that the impacts of climate change are not equally distributed between geography, but also between demographic groups, between classes, income, races,” Diezmartínez says. “The idea that climate change has different impacts between different people has become more mainstream in the last decade. There cannot be climate action without climate justice anymore.”
