It is widely acknowledged by the scientific community that we are rapidly approaching a climate mitigation “tipping point” fueled by Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from Power Plants, Buildings and Vehicles In order to avert a climate crisis of unimaginable consequences we must change the way we generate and consume energy by boldly embracing renewable energy, energy efficiency and vehicle electrification. Left unchecked Climate Change is the next global pandemic on the horizon, one where face coverings, social distancing or vaccines will save humanity. Drawdown is the future point in time when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline. This is the point when we begin the process of stopping further climate change and averting potentially catastrophic warming. It is a critical turning point for life on Earth—one we must reach as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible. With the clock ticking for meaningful interventions time is of the essence but how do you empower aggressive, yet just, climate action when faced with a worldwide recession caused by the COVID 19 pandemic and a deadlocked federal government? The proposed session will focus on the efforts of a cohort of students from the Northeastern School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs lead by an environmental justice advocate to create a Geographic Information System that depicts energy burden in environment justice communities that can be filtered by environmental justice conditions and by Massachusetts House and Senate Districts. The design objective of the system is to visualize energy burden disparities to members of the Massachusetts state legislature. By providing an intuitive and easy to navigate Geographic Information System that can be filtered by legislative districts the system enables a legislator to visualize the significant energy burden disparities between residents of environmental justice communities and non-environmental justice communities. By providing rich data visualization that targets legislators the tool helps them better understand where EJC’s are located non their legislative districts and how the significant energy burden disparity impacts their constituency ability to achieve the American dream.
