Description
This presentation explores the relationship between environmental justice, energy poverty, and climate change. We'll delve into the disproportionate burden faced by marginalized communities, highlighting how systemic inequalities exacerbate their vulnerability to environmental hazards and energy insecurity. By understanding these dynamics, we can develop targeted solutions that address both energy access and climate resilience while promoting equity and justice for all.
