Ensuring Racial Equity in Climate Decision-Making: Q&A with Debra Gore-Mann, BECC Keynote

Our actions this decade are critical to averting the worst impacts of the climate crisis. How can we make decisions that reduce climate pollution at the necessary pace? And how can ensuring equitable participation of low-income communities and communities of color in climate and energy decision-making lead to better outcomes?
 
These are some of the questions we’ll explore with Debra Gore-Mann, the opening keynote speaker at the 2022 Behavior, Energy & Climate Change (BECC) conference this November 13–16 in Washington, DC. Gore-Mann is president and CEO at The Greenlining Institute, an organization working to create a future where communities of color can build wealth, live in healthy places filled with economic opportunity, and meet the challenges posed by climate change.
