Mapping supply of and demand for ecosystem services to assess environmental justice in New York City

Abstract: Livability, resilience, and justice in cities are challenged by climate change and the historical legacies that together create disproportionate impacts on human communities. Urban green infrastructure has emerged as an important tool for climate change adaptation and resilience given their capacity to provide ecosystem services such as local temperature regulation, stormwater mitigation, and air purification. However, realizing the benefits of ecosystem services for climate adaptation depend on where they are… Show more

“…Green Infrastructure (GI), along with other environmental planning tools such as Urban Growth Boundaries, Net Environmental Benefit analysis, and costs for developing, represent an advanced approach to regulating urban expansion, limiting the land take, and increasing the resilience of urban areas [27,28]. The above-mentioned approaches support the application of different measures for re-development and become crucial in practical planning procedures [29].…”

“…15,16 Climate justice has recently emerged as a new and pressing concern in environmental justice research and practice. [17][18][19] Cities dominated by multiple forms of inequality have been created in no small part through historical and ongoing planning practices. For example, housing displacement in urban (re)development can force communities to relocate to more hazardous areas, exacerbating uneven distributions of exposure to environmental hazards.…”

“…20 Experience of excess heat by vulnerable groups not only exemplifies environmental injustice, but also leads to significant health impacts. Neighborhoods deprived of climate-regulating services, such as from urban green infrastructure, may further perpetuate historical inequalities, 14,17 especially if climate change impacts in cities increase the risk of heat waves in vulnerable communities and thus create new environmental justice challenges. 21,22 For example, Million-TreesNYC had its explicit goal of equalizing urban forest, but still failed to ''prioritize low-canopy, low-income communities of color'', mainly because parks, which were already unequally distributed, absorbed 83% of the newly planted trees.…”
