Matthew Berg, CEO and Principal Scientist at our partner organization Simfero, contributed to a recent paper outlining opportunities for nature-based solutions, equity, and broad sustainability considerations in managing water resources in Texas. “Addressing Challenges to Ensuring Justice and Sustainability in Policy and Infrastructure for Texas Water Resources in the 21st Century” was published earlier this month in the Texas Water Journal, an outlet geared primarily toward decision makers and policy experts in the Lone Star State.
The publication is a collaborative effort of the Texas Water Research Network, a working group of researchers from academia, non-profit organizations and the private sector. The authors point to the relatively uneven landscape of environmental justice efforts in the state of Texas, presenting recommendations for research and practice that aim to address policy and planning gaps with persistent environmental justice issues.
“We aim to help water managers and policy makers identify and dismantle sources of inequity, particularly through including community voice.”
