SUMMARY:Understanding Climate Change as a Human Rights Issue
DESCRIPTION:For over 30 years\, communities\, governments and businesses around the world have struggled with climate change. Each year we witness increases in the Earth’s temperature\, the frequency of natural disasters\, the pollution of oceans\, and adverse health outcomes resulting from the climate crisis. These environmental threats highlight the urgent need to act now. \nEvidence shows a serious concern about climate change across multiple demographics. Although citizens and environmental justice advocates continue to speak out against climate injustices\, the influence of  business and politics outweigh the concerns of low-income communities\, who often experience the worst of the climate crisis’s impact. \nJoin The Center virtually on April 22nd at 12 PM to hear experts discuss the impact of the climate crisis on democracy\, and the simple steps you can take to join the fight to save our planet. \n\nKatherine Catalano (moderator) Deputy Director\, Center for Climate\, Health and Equity (APHA) \nDr. Jairo H. Garcia CEO of Urban Climate Nexus\, Researcher/Professor of Climate Policies and Sustainable Cities\, UN Habitat Regional Curator for North America\, and SDGs Educator Fellow \nAndrew A. Rosenberg Director of the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists  \nLauren Herzer Risi Program Director\, Environmental Change and Security Program at The Wilson Center

SUMMARY:The Truth About Environmental Racism
DESCRIPTION:Environmental racism is the disproportionate burden of environmental hazards placed on people of color and low-income communities. Policies and practices have historically forced these communities to live close to mines\, sewage works\, power stations\, and landfills\, which often leads to adverse health effects and other challenges. \nJoin The Center for a panel discussion exploring the history of environmental racism and the fight for environmental justice through a truth and transformation lens. Our panel will also explore the relationship between climate change and environmental injustice and how citizens can join the fight for environmental justice.
