Chris Whitehead, Senior Environmental Justice Consultant

Chris Whitehead sits down with Rebecca Bratspies, a professor at CUNY School of Law where she runs the Center for Urban Environmental Reform, and Thomas Abdallah, the Vice President of Environmental Services at MTA Construction and Development Agency. Their work surrounding sustainable transportation development is crucial to the larger conversation as a large percentage of greenhouse gasses come from the transportation sector. With New York City leading the country with initiatives in climate and sustainability, it is great to listen to their perspectives on congestion pricing, climate impacts, and the NYC Environmental Justice plan.
