The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly disruptive throughout the world.
Threats such as storm flooding, increasing land and marine heat, sea level rise, saltwater intrusion, drought, and wildfires are being experienced with greater frequency and intensity affecting populations, property, and infrastructure.
In response, nations and global organizations are attempting - with yet unknown effect - to coordinate efforts intended to slow global temperature rise and mitigate climate change impacts.
In New Jersey climate change is already impacting workforce, housing, and education resources, portending threats to the state's environmental and economic future, and affecting the physical and mental health of the state's residents particularly those in environmental justice communities.
To address climate change Governor Murphy has instituted aggressive goals for transitioning the state to clean energy yet the many political, economic, logistical, and environmental complexities reveal the magnitude of the challenge.
In this NJ Spotlight News virtual roundtable series, we will hold:
• Three editions exploring the science behind New Jersey's specific climate change vulnerabilities and the policies intended to address the impacts of each
• One edition evaluating the scope of policy actions the state is taking - and may yet need to take - to enable New Jerseyans to adapt to an increasingly intense and volatile new climate normal
Edition 1: Storm Flooding (Feb 7th)
Storm flooding and water infrastructure effects on water quality, housing, environmental justice, and state economics

From its source in upstate New York to its mouth at the Atlantic the Delaware River Watershed is a natural water system supporting more than 13 million people across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware. Yet over the years the river and its web of tributaries have been subjected to grave threats ranging from the pollution off its shores to the pervading threats from overdevelopment, agrarian waste, and, now, climate change. NJ Spotlight News has launched a multi-day online project, entitled "Water's Edge: The Trials and Tributaries of the Delaware Watershed," looking at the challenges facing the watershed in New Jersey and the promises for its future. Our report focuses on four key areas: the Highlands, the Pinelands, the Bayshore, and urban estuary. See the full project here. Please join us on March 1st at 4pm as we cap the online project with an NJ Spotlight News virtual roundtable featuring top experts and leaders as we unpack the online project and explore what's next for the watershed. Opening remarks: Stuart Clarke, Program Director, Watershed Protection, William Penn Foundation Panelists: Andy Kricun, Managing Director, Moonshot Missions, former CEO, Camden County Municipal Utility Authority Shawn M.

A range of issues is embattling the teaching profession in New Jersey bringing about a teacher shortage many believe may become severe. Data reveal many teachers exiting the field, others experiencing burn out, and fewer people pursuing teaching as a career. Questions arise: What are the real reasons behind the diminished new teacher pipeline and what can be done? How have the roles of teachers and school staff changed in the era of COVID-19? How can professional development help improve teacher skills and career potential? Please join us for this NJ Spotlight News virtual roundtable as we convene government officials, academic leaders, and educators in the classroom to explore policies and practices to address the growing teacher shortage and what these approaches might mean for education in New Jersey. Opening remarks: Dr. Angelica Allen-McMillan, Ed.D., Acting Commissioner, New Jersey Department of Education Panelists: James Earle, Superintendent, Trenton Public School District Olivia Haas, Mathematics Teacher, East Brunswick High School Suzanne McCotter, Dean, School of Education, The College of New Jersey Jennifer Skomial, Teacher of Future Educators, Academy for Education and Learning, Morris County Vocational School District, former NJ Teacher of the Year Moderators: Joanna Gagis, Senior Correspondent, NJ Spotlight News John Mooney, Founding Editor & Education Writer, NJ Spotlight News
Asian-Americans are 10% of NJ’s population. That number grows every year.

With New Jersey's target of delivering 7,500 megawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2035, the state continues to ramp up development activities in this clean energy sector. The state has entered into a key phase where various transmission projects aimed at reliably delivering power from offshore wind turbines to customers are being evaluated by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU). Developers have proposed a wide range of onshore and offshore projects including: • Upgrading the existing electrical grid to incorporate offshore wind energy sources • Extending the onshore electrical grid closer to offshore wind locations • Identifying optimal wind power landfall locations and approaches to minimize environmental impacts • Building an offshore transmission “backbone,” to create a networked offshore grid The NJBPU expects to make decisions by October 2022 regarding which projects, if any, can move forward. The range of proposed projects suggests the complexity of bringing wind power to New Jersey customers. This roundtable will seek to foster public understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the various potential approaches. Please join us for this NJ Spotlight News virtual roundtable as we discuss how the offshore wind industry can best bring wind power ashore while protecting public and business interests. Opening remarks: Kris Ohleth, Executive Director, Special Initiative on Offshore Wind Panelists: Janice Fuller, President, Mid-Atlantic, Anbaric Suzanne Glatz, Director of Strategic Initiatives and Interregional Planning, PJM Interconnection Doug O'Malley, State Director, Environment New Jersey Madeline Urbish, Head of Government Affairs and Policy, New Jersey, Ørsted Moderator: Rhonda Schaffler, Business Correspondent, NJ Spotlight News
At least one in five New Jerseyans struggles to afford prescription medicine, according to the Governor’s office, skipping doses or splitting pills to try to keep negative outcomes at bay. Since 2014 pharmaceutical costs have risen by nearly one-third nationwide, outpacing the rate of inflation, and the state plans to spend some $4.7 billion on medications for public workers and Medicaid members over the coming year. While widespread economic hardship associated with the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the problem for many consumers, the high cost of pharmaceutical drugs has been a challenge in the state and in the nation for years. In late 2019 NJ Spotlight News hosted a roundtable discussionexploring with leading advocacy organizations several proposals for reform. So what happened? Did the coronavirus pandemic derail the campaign to control prescription costs? Or have pricing issues proved otherwise intractable? Two-and-a-half years later, NJ Spotlight News will convene an online panel to examine these issues with fresh eyes and consider the latest recommendations for change. Please join us for this panel discussion about Governor Phil Murphy's proposals to cap co-pays on certain lifesaving medications and increase transparency throughout the prescription drug supply chain as well as other proposed solutions some believe would be more effective in lowering prices. Keynote: Senator Troy Singleton, 7th Legislative District, New Jersey State Senate Panelists: Maura Collinsgru, Director of Policy and Advocacy, New Jersey Citizen Action Brian Oliveira, PharmD, Executive Director, Garden State Pharmacy Owners Shabnam Salih, Director, Office of Health Care Affordability and Transparency, Governor’s Office, State of New Jersey Additional panelist to be announced.

The Garden State has been the epicenter of America’s coronavirus pandemic several times in the past two years. Nearly 2 million residents have been diagnosed with COVID-19 since March 2020 while more than 33,000 have died from the virus. But with new case numbers declining significantly and mask mandates being dropped, state leaders insist COVID-19 has evolved from a pandemic to an endemic disease. What does this mean for New Jersey in the years to come? What does living with COVID look like? To help answer these questions, NJ Spotlight News has convened a panel of experts to explore what endemic means and to identify the implications involved such as accepting that some people will still get sick and die from COVID-19. We will discuss coronavirus epidemiology, the public health impacts of endemic COVID, what it means for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and those with weaker immune systems, and what hospitals and public health systems are doing to prepare for this new normal. Keynote: Linda Schwimmer, CEO, New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute Panelists: Dr. John Bonamo, Executive Vice President, Chief Quality Officer, CMO, RWJBarnabas Health Dr. Eddy Bresnitz, former Medical Advisor COVID-19 Response, New Jersey Department of Health; former State Epidemiologist & Deputy Commissioner of Public Health Services, New Jersey Department of Health Robin Cogan, MEd, RN, NCSN, School Nurse, Camden City School District, Legislative Co-Chair, New Jersey State School Nurses Association Dr. Denise V.
