Energy and Climate Justice Panel Discussion

The negative economic and environmental impacts of our fossil fuel based energy system have concentrated effects on communities of color. Centuries of racial segregation, redlining, and unequal pay have left these marginalized groups on land where they face disproportionately high levels of pollution and are more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Communities of color also face systemic disadvantages in energy costs, higher energy burdens, and limited access to renewable energy benefits.

Join us on November 17 from 4:15–5:45pm CT for a panel discussion on these issues and how we can address energy and climate justice with introductory remarks from Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes.

GRI Affiliated Faculty, Professor Shalanda Baker of the Northeastern School of Law, will join the discussion as a panelist.
