The intersection of COVID-19 and the climate crisis have a disproportionate impact on communities around the globe. We investigate the intertwining of these crises and the magnitude of their severity. Lending expert judgement are the two following Duke academics:

Kay Jowers is a senior policy associate at Duke University’s Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions. Her work focuses on analyzing state regulatory and policy approaches to addressing environmental issues and engages with environmental equity, ethics, and justice in particular. She is the Nicholas Institute’s lead on the PLANET Project, a collaboration with the Kenan Institute for Ethics, and co-directs the Environmental Justice Lab, a collaboration with the Duke Economics Department.

Michael Bergin is a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Duke University. His research focuses on the influence of air pollution on both climate and human health. He has investigated the impacts of particulate matter (PM) around the world in places such as Greenland, China, and India. He is also involved in developing and deploying the next generation of air quality sensors to inform citizens on the quality of the air they are breathing so that they can make informed decisions to improve their air.
