Building Power in the Public Sector: DEI and Anti-Racism at Environmental Jobs in Government

The Center co-hosted a panel with Green 2.0 and the New York City Bar to hear from professionals, including District of Columbia’s Attorney General Karl Racine, working on diversity, equity, and inclusion from within government agencies that focus on environmental law. The panel addressed what bureaus and agencies are doing to support diversity and inclusion and the path forward for the governmental and public sector in advancing equity. The event followed up on a three-part series held earlier in 2021, where panelists discussed their related efforts in the NGO and law firm sectors. The recording from the prior event is available here. The series overall was recently awarded the 2021 ABA Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources award. A highlights clip of the webinar is available below. If you are a member of the NYC Bar Association, you can log in to view the full recording here.
