Listen "If I Could Change One Thing: Darbi Berry on the Climate Connection and Public Health Resilience"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode of the If I Could Change One Thing Podcast, Dr. Brittnie Bloom and student co-host Karsen Caroll welcome Darbi Berry, Director of the San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative Nonprofit and Professor at San Diego State University. In this episode, we learn how social structures within our environmental systems can perpetuate climate change and environmental vulnerability. Darbi offers us ways to adapt and create an "equity first" approach to learning how climate change impacts our planet and how we can be mindful about our contributions to climate change. Darbi has worked on a vast number of initiatives that focus on climate adaptation, resilience, and resource management, which include nonprofit initiatives like The San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative (SDRCC) and the Regional Plan Tracker, which both serve as a resource for promoting a more sustainable future in the local San Diego Community. Finally, Darbi reminds us about the importance of community – when we want to go fast - we go alone; when we want to go far - we go together! Wondering how to get involved? You can get involved by following SDRCC on LinkedIn (@sdclimatecollab), attending their events, and exploring volunteer or collaboration opportunities. The Regional Plan Tracker is a great way to learn about local climate plans and find ways to contribute to sustainability efforts in your community.
