Participants learn about a new methodology and a set of indicators for analyzing regional equity, and how to use this analysis to inform regional and sustainable community planning, economic and workforce development, and land use transportation planning efforts. A trainer from PolicyLink instructs attendees on how to conduct a regional equity analysis, and how to interpret demographic, economic, educational, health, housing and transportation indicators.

Sustainability and Net Zero Energy Studies with DoD Clients

Speakers: David Mechtly, Project Manager, now with HDR, Inc.; Mark Imel, Energy Services Technical Director, HDR, Inc. Moderator: Damian Kelly, Technical Director and Project Manager, HDR, Inc.

The federal government has, through a series of public laws, executive orders and presidential memorandums, set out an ambitious mandated program to address energy/water/waste/greenhouse gas reduction, a reduced dependence on fossil fuel, and increased usage in alternative fuels for federal agencies. The panelists from the Defense Distribution Center-Susquehanna and HDR share their experiences in accomplishing the mandates while integrating sustainability and net-zero energy planning at a Defense Logistics Agency installation over the past year. Sustainability topics discussed include sustainability components, component support activities, and a capital investment strategy and implementation plan. Net Zero Energy topics include energy reduction measures, “right-sizing” the GSA fleet using combinatorial optimization, recommending grid/islanded-connected micro-grid architecture/control, providing the resulting renewable energy solution, discussing feasible funding mechanisms, and incorporating all aspects of Net Zero into an implementation plan.

The NYC Waterfront Justice Project: Making Industrial Waterfronts Community Resilient/Climate Adaptable

Speakers: Elizabeth Yeampierre, Esq., Executive Director, UPROSE; Juan Camilo Osorio, Policy Analyst, New York Environmental Justice Alliance. Moderator: Eddie Bautista, Executive Director, New York Environmental Justice Alliance

Climate change is creating new challenges for businesses and residents in industrial waterfront communities. Climate change impacts may increase the risk of exposures to hazardous substances in areas vulnerable to sea level rise, storm surge and flooding. The work of the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance, a coalition of community-based organizations in low-income communities of color, shows how affected communities are leading the call to integrate climate adaptation planning and pollution prevention into planning and development in industrial waterfront communities. Industrial businesses located in vulnerable coastal areas will require innovative risk reduction and redevelopment strategies. Community-led, multi-stakeholder coalitions play a key role in developing new strategies to integrate climate change adaptation, industrial waterfront planning, and brownfields redevelopment. Financial and technical resources are required to help reduce risk, while protecting local industrial jobs and building a green economy.
