The Resilience Justice Project addresses the inequitable vulnerabilities of communities, such as neighborhoods, to many different shocks and changes.

The project utilizes the Resilience Justice Assessment Framework, pioneered by Arnold and Resilience Justice Fellows at Brandeis Law.

“We’ll then use our assessments to produce a guidebook of best practices and a series of webinars so that any city can use the information to make their climate adaptation planning equitable for all neighborhoods.” “We will assess plans, policies and laws affecting climate adaptation in these eight coastal urban areas with an eye towards addressing the vulnerabilities of low-income neighborhoods of color,” Arnold said. The project will examine how the cities are currently ensuring that their climate adaptation plans are equitable and fair.

Principal investigator Tony Arnold, the Herbert F. The RJ Project will use the $75,000 award from the National Sea Grant Law Center through NOAA’s National Coastal Resilience Fund to examine coastal urban adaptation in the eight cities: Boston, Cleveland, Miami, New Orleans, San Diego, Savannah, Seattle and Tampa. The Resilience Justice Project (RJ Project) at the University of Louisville’s Brandeis School of Law has been awarded a one-year multi-institutional grant through a national competitive process to evaluate how climate adaptation planning can be more equitable for low-income communities in eight U.S. Pictured with Arnold are the fellows, from left to right, Laken Wadsworth, Rebecca Wells-Gonzalez, Ralph Banchstubbs, Arnold, Carcyle Barrett, Irie Ewers, Jake Mace and Colin Sheehan. Resilience Justice Project Fellows will assist. UofL Brandeis Law Professor Tony Arnold, fourth from left, will lead the project.
