Energy Democracy: Advancing Equity in Clean Energy Solutions by Denise Fairchild

Description: Energy Democracy by Denise Fairchild, Al Weinrub Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This urgent book features cutting edge, diverse thinkers in the energy democracy movement. Publisher Description The near-unanimous consensus among climate scientists is that the massive burning of gas, oil, and coal is having a cataclysmic impact on our atmosphere and climate, and depleting earths natural resources, including its land, food, fresh water and biodiversity.These climate and environmental impacts are particularly magnified and debilitating for low-income communities and communities of color that live closest to toxic sites, are disproportionately impacted by high incidences of asthma, cancer and rates of morbidity and mortality, and lack the financial resources to adapt to climate impacts.This volume brings together racial, cultural, and generational perspectives. This diversity is bound together by a common operating frame: that the global fight to save the planet—to conserve and restore our natural resources to be life-sustaining—must fully engage community residents and must change the larger economy to be sustainable, democratic, and just. Author Biography Denise Fairchild is president and CEO of Emerald Cities Collaborative, a national non-profit organization of business, labor, and community groups dedicated to climate resilience strategies that produce environmental, economic, and equity outcomes.
