Across cities worldwide, climate change is disproportionately impacting the most vulnerable urban populations. However, our efforts to address this crisis will also produce benefits and burdens that are likely to be distributed unevenly across urban communities. In Boston, several private institutions are working together to create climate action plans to mitigate and adapt to climate change. It is essential that these efforts incorporate justice as a core component. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><span>Claudia worked as a Climate Justice Technical Expert for the Boston Green Ribbon Commission&#8217;s Collaborative Climate Action Program. Her role consisted in supporting participating organizations to incorporate climate justice into their climate plans. Claudia provided training materials and technical advice on how climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable groups across Boston, how climate policies can serve to reinforce or challenge injustice, and shared best practices that can enable local institutions to directly address issues of climate justice in Boston. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>At the end of the internship, Claudia saw four graduating institutions, Emmerson College, Historic New England, Zoo New England, and the Riverside Boat Club, complete climate plans that explicitly integrated justice as a key goal and action area of their climate efforts. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><span><em><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/urban\/files\/2025\/12\/Ribbon-cutting-636x475.png\" alt=\"2023 Green Ribbon Cutting Ceremony\" width=\"636\" height=\"475\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7152 size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/urban\/files\/2025\/12\/Ribbon-cutting-636x475.png 636w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/urban\/files\/2025\/12\/Ribbon-cutting-768x574.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/urban\/files\/2025\/12\/Ribbon-cutting-800x598.png 800w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/urban\/files\/2025\/12\/Ribbon-cutting.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/>2023 Green Ribbon Cutting Ceremony (Graduation of the 2022 \u2013 2023 cohort)<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Main Project Deliverables: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>The final versions of the climate action plans developed by graduating institutions are private at this moment.
