City of Saint Paul issued the following announcement on Aug. 8.
Today, Mayor Melvin Carter invited community members to apply to serve on a new Saint Paul Climate Justice Advisory Board (CJAB). The Board will support the development of policies and programs informed by Saint Paul’s Climate Action and Resilience Plan, and ensure those efforts are equitably distributed to address the challenges faced by the most vulnerable populations and neighborhoods in Saint Paul. Interested community members can learn more and apply now on a rolling basis with those received by August 31 receiving priority at stpaul.gov/boards.
“Ensuring the many voices of our community are heard in shaping our climate action and resilience work is vital,” said Mayor Melvin Carter. “I invite all those interested in helping us realize a sustainable future for all of us to get involved by applying for the Climate Justice Advisory Board.”
“The Climate Justice Advisory Board will focus on aligning Saint Paul’s climate action work with the needs and interests of our BIPOC and under-resourced communities, who bear the brunt of the impact of our changing climate,” said Chief Resilience Officer Russ Stark. “We look forward to engaging with our community to help shape the policies and programs that will support our response to climate change.”
