Exhibition | Lau Grants for Just Climate Futures
This exhibition showcases new compelling research by College of Environmental Design faculty funded by the inaugural round of Lau Grants for Just Climate Futures. In keeping with the college’s mission, this grant program supports cross-disciplinary projects that generate actionable solutions and engage communities affected by climate change.
The Lau Grants for Just Climate Futures projects displayed in this exhibition investigate low-carbon housing construction systems and materials; innovative strategies for rapid rebuilding after wildfires; the impact of climate change on residents of manufactured home parks; flood resilience and environmental equity in the Salinas Valley; and mapping real-time air quality in the Bay Area.
A key component of the program is the sharing of research findings through exhibitions like this one and related public events as means to amplify the impact of the research and create actual change. Join us on Wednesday, April 3, to hear faculty discuss their research findings in an evening presentation.
