Transportation and land use reform is a key climate strategy because it reduces fossil fuel use and therefore carbon emissions. With housing and gas prices as key drivers, it is also a key strategy to protect local residents from future financial costs through enhanced community-oriented design. Hear from Yonah and Nailah about the relationship between transportation, climate, and inflation, along with strategies currently being employed to help protect communities against rising fuel costs.
