This session seeks to address how critical global/local issues facing communities of all kinds might be conceptualized in ways that ensure community voices and priorities are paramount. This is especially important as extreme events, community needs, and quality of life factors conflate driven by technological change, politically charged contexts, and economic instability. Questions include: How can social science, partnerships across the weather enterprise, and advances in prediction capability be developed in new and powerful ways to meet the approaching challenges of the 21st century? What do we mean by social justice and how we might identify with local groups issues important to communities? We seek analysis of issues related to social justice and scientific practice broadly construed.
