Climate & Sustainability

As of early 2024, global temperatures have increased by approximately 1.2 degrees celcius above pre-industrial levels, contributing to more frequent and intense heatwaves, wildfires, and extreme weather events worldwide. Climate change disproportionately impacts low-income communities, who often lack resources to adapt to changing environmental conditions, leading to increased vulnerability to extreme weather events. C2C researchers are tackling these problems from multiple angles, supporting the establishment of green spaces in Boston and Maine, and creating career ladder programs to mitigate inequality in the green economy.​
