Student Spotlight: Reframing Corporate Sustainability to Account for Communities
State of the Planet
By: Lylia Sauriel
What’s been your favorite class in the Sustainable Development program and why?
My favorite class in the Sustainable Development program thus far is “Building Climate Justice: Co-Creative Coastal Resilience Planning.” I love the integration of both social and data science. I’ve loved being able to work with our community partners, South Bronx Unite and Staten Island Urban Center, to create meaningful deliverables aimed at enhancing the work that they do for their communities. I’ve had the incredible opportunity to be on the South Bronx Unite team working to illustrate the burden of air pollution in the South Bronx community and to create recommendations for the organization’s initiative in using sophisticated air quality monitors to assess air pollution in their community.
