EJ Today Vol. 5

At UCS we are deeply committed to putting science in service of local communities. We are always looking for new and better ways to work with current and new partners to provide relevant policy- and community-specific science, and to advocate for solutions, especially home-grown ones that have traction across the world. By fusing local knowledge and lived experiences with science, we can achieve greater speed, scope, and scale on responsible, sustainable, and equitable climate action that will lead to better results for all. Johanna Chao Kreilick is the president of the Union of Concerned Scientists and Astrid Caldas serves as the organization’s senior climate scientist for community resilience.
