Hi all -

The next Justice40 Open Source Call is scheduled for May 20th @5pm ET and we'll be joined by Vanessa Carter Fahnestock from USC's Greenlining Institute.

Look forward to seeing y'all then!

Overview:

Since 2013, California has implemented over $11B of climate investments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, produce health and environmental benefits, and center disadvantaged communities in the process. These projects have ranged from urban greening and electric vehicle deployment, to affordable housing and alternative fuel production.

What have been the outcomes of these investments? Who did they serve and what lessons can be gleaned for future climate investments to ensure they benefit the communities with greatest needs in addressing past harms, building wealth, and building power for the long-term? And importantly, what are the persisting gaps in community capacity and resources that remain?

We will share lessons learned from an equity analysis of the California Climate Investments (CCI)–the suite of programs funded by the State’s cap-and-trade revenue dollars. Findings come from a joint study led by the Greenlining Institute and the USC Equity Research Institute, and are built upon analyses of CCI implementation data; interviews with environmental justice advocates and key stakeholders; case studies of notable CCI programs; as well as community focus groups.

Alas, I must have jinxed us by sending a reminder email. Unfortunately we aren't able to have the presentation today after all and I will be in touch in the coming days about rescheduling.

The zoom will still be open if folks would like to meet and welcome you to do so!
