On Wednesday, Sept. 28, the UC ANR Latinx & Friends Affinity Group is featuring a special online conversation featuring Jose Pablo Ortiz-Partida, Ph.D., senior water and climate scientist for the Climate & Energy program at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Dr. Ortiz will discuss his research and findings from a large-scale environmental justice study he conducted in the San Joaquin Valley.
Dr. Ortiz’s professional focus is on developing equitable solutions for preserving and distributing clean water for people and the environment. At the Union of Concerned Scientists, he takes the lead in identifying and developing analytic and community-based research projects on how climate change affects disadvantaged communities. He also works on developing strategies for vulnerable sectors and populations to cope and adapt to climate change’s current and projected impacts, particularly related to water.
