The fight for climate justice in America presses on with signs of hope after a year of spirited activism and a new president. But the process of untangling the thicket of inequities in the energy system is far from over.
Dr. Robert Bullard is one of the visionary leaders helping to make sense of this moment.
He’s known as the “Father of Environmental Justice” and has written 18 books at the intersection of racial justice and the environment.
He speaks with Host Bill Loveless about what it will take to ensure that the Biden Administration’s climate plans and appointments are infused with justice principles, including how a progressive climate agenda can reform the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Around the world, activists are turning to the courts to hold major polluters accountable for climate change.
This week host Bill Loveless talks with author and journalist Jeff Goodell about his new book “The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet”.
It has now been just over a year since the US signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act and already, it has been followed by more than US $110 billion in clean energy investments.
Rising debt levels and the ravages wrought by climate change present acute threats to achieving sustainable development goals in emerging market and developing economies.
As the world races to transition to cleaner energy sources, there exists a substantial gap between the financing required for this transition and the actual investments being made.
