Dr. Yuliya Dzyuban, assistant professor in the Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment, has been appointed to the Fifth New York Panel on Climate Change, “an independent advisory body that synthesizes scientific information on climate change and advises city policymakers on local resiliency and adaptation strategies that protect against extreme heat, heavy rain, coastal storm surge, and other climate hazards.” Dzyuban, the first full-time faculty member in the Sustainable Environmental Systems program, specializes in studying the impacts of rising temperatures in cities and helps to develop nature-based solutions that improve climate resilience.
