Join Dialogue4Health (D4H) for a dynamic, solutions-oriented discussion with the authors of an important new report, The Climate Gap: Inequalities in How Climate Change Hurts Americans and How to Close the Gap. This conversation is the second in a series of D4H Web Forums around climate change mitigation and adaptation. The Forum will focus on the hidden and often unequal impact climate change will have on the health of people of color and the poor in the United States, and policies to address this gap. It will also take a closer look at the global warming legislation currently moving through Congress (the draft Waxman-Markey Bill). Additionally, the challenges implementing California's landmark Global Warming Solution Act will be discussed. This report was co-funded by the Hewlett, Energy and Annenberg Foundations.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL.
THE CLIMATE GAP IS REAL.
NARROWING THE GAP IS POSSIBLE.
