Elisabeth Infield, PhD, a UMass Professor of Regional Planning and Program Director of the Graduate Certificate in Climate Adaption Planning, just published a new collaborative article with several faculty from Cornell University, Texas A&M University, University of Washington, Tufts University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of California Los Angelos, California Polytechnic State University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology, all of which are participating in the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning’s Presidential Climate Action Task Force.
In "Planning for Climate Leadership," the team argues that the planning field must integrate climate research and education into all subfields, refocus on decarbonization, build a pipeline of diverse students involved in climate action, and develop the language and skills to grapple with planning for climate change.
