A National Climate Justice Conference Organized by WE ACT for Environmental Justice. Poorer communities are feeling the effects of climate change more harshly than affluent communities, which typically have the resources to deal with the problems arising as a result of this phenomenon. There is the need to ensure that in the evolving debate on climate change, communities of color and low income are prepared to play an active role in the development and implementation of policies that will affect their residents’ and stakeholders’ quality of life. Speakers will present findings on several topics related to climate change and its environmental, public health and economic impacts, discuss the multi-faceted impact of climate change on communities of color and low-income, advance and promote the concept of climate justice and jointly develop policy recommendations designed to secure climate justice in communities of color and low income.
