Workshop: Visualizing Sustainability with a Spatial Lens
February 13, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm EST
With a spatial lens, attendees will visualize sustainability issues, where they’re happening and who is being affected. This presentation will highlight publicly-available tools and projects that utilize geography and authoritative data to illustrate and investigate sustainability issues of environment, economy and equity. A myriad of sustainability issues can be spatially visualized due to the democratization and availability of authoritative data on environmental justice, social vulnerability, ecosystem services, climate and economic justice, racial and economic equity. Additional data on transportation, public safety, affordable housing, air quality, income, greenspace access and lots more are accessible by participants right in the session, just bring your laptop.
Empower your students and community members with accessible, authoritative, publicly-available data and tools. Excellent for classroom discussions, group projects, funding opportunities, presentations to changemakers and planning with interactive scenarios these tools educate and motivate those who use them.
