On behalf of the Nature Conservancy (TNC), AEC Principal Analyst Bryndis Woods, PhD provided equity and environmental justice guidance and support to TNC Northeast (and New York) Division’s government relations staff. As part of this work, AEC provided an equity and environmental justice organization library and a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) library that includes DEIJ Action Plans, Implementation Guides, Strategy Frameworks, and other related equity, environmental and social justice materials. Informed by the results of AEC’s engagement with TNC staff, Dr. Woods made nine recommendations to guide TNC staff to center and prioritize equity and justice in their work.
