Sacoby Wilson featured in ABC News and The Washington Post on environmental injustice

Environmental justice "linked with climate change"

ABC News reports on how the urban poor suffers most from extreme environment impacts, especially this summer in Baltimore with the most severe heat attack ever recorded. City dwellers living in crowded neighborhoods with poor air quality and little green space are exposed to climate change impacts; what's worse is that they cannot afford to move out of the area.

Faculty Associate Sacoby Wilson acknowledges this fact, adding that those poor city residents who ride buses more and walk more contribute less to climate change and environmental damage yet suffer most from the negative impacts, confirming how environmental justice is linked with climate change.
