Abstract:
|
The Covid-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to society, and it is a priority to get the most impacted families and businesses back on their feet. This recovery gives society a chance to end the previous status quo and focus on building a more resilient framework that tackles the challenges of Climate Change and Environmental Justice. By incorporating ACS census data in conjunction with datasets provided by other agencies / private companies, we will attempt to understand and determine how to invigorate the most vulnerable/impacted communities through resilient and green investments.
