From the placement of landfills to the impacts of extreme weather events, it is apparent that climate change and other environmental issues disproportionately and unjustly affect communities of color and low-income neighborhoods, worsening existing health disparities and overall wellness and wealth-building. We challenge our sustainability network to educate ourselves on the importance of climate justice and environmental justice and how we can all further these movements.
This talk, "Hurricane Maria Five Years Later: Environmental, Climate, and Energy Justice in Puerto Rico" will be given by Ruth Santiago, an accomplished Community and Environmental Lawyer.
