It’s Climate Week at @uofpenn! This week, events across campus will highlight the many ways the Penn community is working to understand and combat the climate crisis. 🌎 🌱

At #PennSP2, climate inequality is a growing area of focus. The climate crisis is a significant social justice issue, brought on by structural oppression, resulting in human vulnerabilities and inequities.

Meet three SP2 faculty members committed to addressing climate justice:

🔵 Assistant Professor Dr. R. Jisung Park
Dr. Park is an environmental and labor economist interested broadly in how environmental factors shape economic opportunity.

🔵 Assistant Professor Dr. Alice Xu
Dr. Xu studies the comparative political economy of development with a focus on the politics of inequality and social policy, urban and distributive politics, and environmental politics in the Global South.

🔵 Research Assistant Professor Dr. Chenyi Ma
Dr. Ma’s research aims to contribute to interdisciplinary knowledge of disaster risk reduction and sustainable development.

“[At SP2,] we believe that social policy and practice are effective tools to advance strategies to mitigate, anticipate, and respond to the human dimensions of environmental injustices. We’re doing groundbreaking, transdisciplinary research that explores the root causes of oppression and inequality, and we work to advance innovative, effective solutions. Included in our agenda in this regard, is research and practice to mitigate the unevenly distributed social consequences of climate change."

– SP2 Dean Sara S. Bachman, Collaborating on Climate and Health: A Discussion with Deans

Today, Dean Bachman joined health leaders at Penn to discuss the critical challenges arising from the impact of #ClimateChange on human well-being. Deans across the University provided insight into the ways in which climate is felt in their discipline and how they are addressing it across their education, research, and clinical missions.
