The neighborhoods of South Park and Georgetown border Seattle’s only river—the Duwamish. Due to the ongoing effects of many environmental and social injustices, in these areas, community members have a life expectancy 13 years shorter than people living in Seattle’s wealthier neighborhoods. As an early step in this effort, a team of researchers from the University of Washington School of Public Health and the Duwamish Valley Youth Corps surveyed Duwamish Valley households to find out what the community needs to prepare for, adapt to, and respond to the impacts of climate change. The project and StoryMap found that community members prioritize environmental health, which includes the need for more green space and inclusion of community perspectives in the work to build climate resilience. https://lnkd.in/gr4PzsZx #PublicHealth #ClimateHealth #ClimateResilience #CommunityHealth
