About the Project

When we hear about climate change in Alaska, we don’t hear much about its effects on APIDA (Asian-, Pacific Islander-, Desi-American) and Black residents, already underrepresented groups. We know minority communities in the U.S. have greater exposure to impacts from climate change such as poor air quality, increasing traffic, property damage, increasing utility bills etc. We don’t know if similar differences are also in Alaska.

Get engaged with our project, the first of its kind to focus on the ways APIDA and Black residents of Interior Alaska are experiencing environmental change.
