Dr. Méndez’s award-winning book, Climate Change from the Streets
(Yale University Press, 2020) provides an urgent and timely analysis
of the contentious politics of incorporating environmental justice
into global climate change policy. Méndez tells a timely story of
people, place, and power in the context of climate change and
inequality. He explores the perspectives and influence low-income
people of color bring to their advocacy work on climate change.
Dr. Michael Méndez is an Assistant Professor of Environmental
Planning and Policy at the University of California, Irvine, an
Andrew Carnegie Fellow, and a Visiting Scientist at the National
Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
He most recently served as the inaugural James and Mary Pinchot Faculty Fellow in Sustainability Studies and Associate Research Scientist at the
Yale School of the Environment. Méndez has more than a decade of
senior-level experience in the public and private sectors, where he
consulted and actively engaged in the policymaking process.
