Long Bio
Consolata is a human-environmental geographer whose research explores the intersections of urban climate resilience, green infrastructure planning, environmental justice, and urban climate governance to address climate resilience and inequities in cities. She examines how green infrastructure can serve as both a resilience strategy and a tool for advancing environmental justice, ensuring that historically marginalized communities—who often bear the brunt of climate vulnerabilities—are prioritized in urban adaptation efforts. Her work critically analyzes governance structures and policy frameworks to identify gaps perpetuating climate injustices while advocating for equitable, community-centered planning approaches. By integrating social and ecological dimensions, her research contributes to building just and sustainable urban environments that empower marginalized populations in the face of climate change.
