Advancing Energy Equity in California

The Greenlining Institute works towards a future where communities of color can build wealth, live in healthy places filled with economic opportunity, and are ready to meet the challenges posed by climate change. Building lasting climate resilience in communities of color can only be achieved by focusing on the intersection of climate action, racial justice, and economic equity. The Energy Equity team works to center equity in the burgeoning clean energy economy and to advance a just transition where the needs of communities are prioritized every step of the way. With the current momentum in the climate and energy policy space, it is vital that policies and programs are shaped to create the best racial equity outcomes. Equitable energy policies help reduce the impacts of climate change, end reliance on fossil fuels, and offer economic opportunities and wealth generation to formerly redlined neighborhoods. In this seminar, Jordyn Bishop (Senior Legal Counsel of Energy Equity) and Isabella Carreño (Climate Equity Fellow) will provide an overview of The Greenlining Institute's work and their current efforts to equitably advance an affordable, reliable, and climate-resilient clean energy future in California.
