On Season Two’s third episode, Kean University’s podcast Urban Impact takes a dive into the controversial topic of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) with Nicky Sheats, Ph.D., J.D., director of the Center for the Urban Environment at the John S. Watson Institute for Urban Policy and Research at Kean. Sheats breaks down the problems with CCS from an environmental justice point of view and why plans to implement it will likely disproportionately impact low-income neighborhoods and communities of color.

Urban Impact is recorded and produced at Kean, New Jersey’s urban research university. The podcast is now available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google, and at kean.edu/urban-impact.
