NYC’s Jewel Streets and the Hazards of Climate Change

Join The Center for Brooklyn History as we explore their path to change and what it means for The Jewel Streets neighborhood, New York City as a whole, and urban areas across the country who are seeking engineering innovation in the face of climate change.

Moderated by Samantha Maldonado, climate reporter for THE CITY, the panel includes Debra Ack of East New York Community Land Trust; Sangamithra Iyer, Chief of Bluebelts and Urban Stormwater Planning at NYC Department of Environmental Protection; and two Jewel Streets resident leaders, Julisa Rodriguez and Mohammed Doha.

They will begin with a screening of the short film Jewel Streets introduced by director Sarah Jacobson.
