Climate Now: Powering Chinatown’s energy resilience
It’s Earth Week on The Common. And in honor of our home planet, we’re bringing you a special series. Every day this week, we’re exploring what climate change looks and feels like in Greater Boston, and how it’s impacting our communities, right now.
Today’s destination: Chinatown.
In Boston’s Chinatown, you don’t have to look far to see how climate change is already affecting the lives of residents. The neighborhood is one of the city’s worst heat islands, and it has the highest levels of air pollution in the state thanks to nearby Interstates 90 and 93. With Boston Harbor nearby, there’s also the risk of future flooding.
