Karan Gupta has been a Project Manager with BuildSmart and he is a leader dedicated to reducing emissions and promoting a thriving, climate resilient Kansas City metro region.
Climate Action KC has given us a climate action playbook.

Climate Action KC has formed an Equity Committee to assure climate change is addressed in all sectors of our community. Climate action will require a bold commitment to equity. Climate change is already happening, and every fraction of additional global warming must be mitigated now, or we risk devastating consequences. Climate change will hurt vulnerable communities first and worst -these communities are largely people of color, indigenous, and comprised of women and girls.
We need to honestly examine how marginalized people and communities have been excluded from energy innovations and consequently are being hit hardest by climate change.
This will be a great radio hour! Thank you for caring about our world!
