Climate Week NYC: Environmental Justice Through Block By Block Microclimates In North Brooklyn

Join Pratt Institute’s MS in Sustainable Environmental Systems program and North Brooklyn Parks Alliance for an interactive walk in North Brooklyn, as part of Climate Week NYC!

The walk will introduce health, ecological and infrastructure challenges faced by the historically marginalized community; and engage our own sensors and sensing technology to explore the relationships between the urban form, microclimate and its effects on us and other living systems in the city.

This event is open to the public.
