Dr. Natale “Nat” Zappia, a founding member of this Journal’s Editorial Board, was the Director of Institute for Sustainability at CSU Northridge. Dr. Zappia was a brilliant scholar, gifted teacher, caring mentor, beloved husband, devoted father, and a treasured member of the community. As a colleague, we were all saddened to hear of his passing recently. We were honored to have Nat as a contributing member of this Journal’s Board and deeply appreciative of the passion he brought to this project of inclusive scholarship in climate change and sustainability research. Please, donate to the CSU Sustainability and Climate Change Research Support Fund, created to honor Nat.
