Current projects in this portfolio focus on shade master planning, policies for mitigating and managing heat in schools, and other research that informs equitable and effective heat governance, policy, and plans. The Associate Manager of Heat Equity Research will manage a growing portfolio of projects that include enhancing state and federal investments in community heat mitigation and management.
S/he will leverage existing knowledge of the climate adaptation policy and planning landscape in California and beyond to collaboratively advance and implement a research agenda for LCI’s Heat Equity work.
