Description

With more people teleworking than ever, the decreased use of vehicular transportation has caused several observable changes regarding the environment. The skies look bluer, there are more ducks in the pond, there seems to be less air pollution. However, it is important to note that this temporary pause in the economy should not be confused with the structural changes needed to avoid the effects of climate change. Let’s take a deeper look into this topic with Billy Fleming, a research coordinator for UPenn's Stuart Weitzman School of Design, Kate Marvel, a climate scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and Franco Montalto, a Professor of civil, architectural, and environmental engineering at Drexel University.
