Building Climate Justice in New York: NYC-EJA's Waterfront Justice Project, The Sandy Regional Assembly, and the People's Climate March
The New York City Environmental Justice Alliance (NYC-EJA) addresses climate and environmental justice challenges in industrial waterfront communities, which face risks from storm surge, extreme weather, and toxic exposures. Through initiatives like the Waterfront Justice Project, the Sandy Regional Assembly, and the People’s Climate March, NYC-EJA promotes research, advocacy, and community-driven climate resilience planning. Their efforts have influenced city policy, integrating environmental justice into coastal management and supporting vulnerable low-income and communities of color.
