Berkeley is a city on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay in northern Alameda County, California, United States. It borders the cities of Oakland and Emeryville to the south and the city of Albany and the unincorporated community of Kensington to the north. Its eastern border with Contra Costa County generally follows the ridge of the Berkeley Hills. The communities of colour in Berkeley are suffering the highest rates of displacement and the neighborhoods. Gentrification and displacement are occurring in areas where they were under-invested for so long, and as housing prices have increased significantly. It is important to elevate the voices and priorities of these communities that are impacted first and worst by climate change.
