Urban Planning for Climate Change - Cross Atlantic Perspectives

An international collaborative conference between NJ's Rutgers Center for Urban Environmental Sustainability and the Rutgers Climate Institute and Universities in Germany will focus on the climate change impacts and environmental challenges in New Jersey’s underserved communities, which  are similarly exposed as their counterparts in the German Ruhr Region.

Experts from both sides of the Atlantic will explore various approaches for climate change urban planning spanning environmental, economic, political, and social dimensions.

Climate change is creating new challenges for spatial and environmental planning on both sides of the Atlantic. While seeking to moderate the impacts of climate change from rising temperatures, extreme precipitation and sea level rise, the context of planning and policy must also address growing awareness of social equity and environmental justice
