Dr. James Hunter is presenting on " Advancing Climate Equity: BSEC's Role in Sustainable Stormwater Management in Baltimore."

As climate change intensifies, the most severe impacts are felt by underinvested urban communities, which grapple with environmental challenges such as pollution, flooding, and heat. In response, the Baltimore Social-Environmental Collaborative (BSEC) has pioneered a unique approach to climate action. Dr. James Hunter presents how the BSEC is transforming urban climate solutions through close partnerships with Baltimore's communities. This presentation will explore how the BSEC integrates community priorities into climate science, continuously adapting strategies based on real-time data and local input. Discover how this innovative model aims to build a community-centered urban climate observatory and drive equitable climate action in Baltimore.
