RAP was on the scene at Climate Week NYC for a dynamic exchange on the rising momentum of energy justice as climate and energy organizations work to balance climate goals with social equity. As we push for a clean energy transition that benefits all communities, it’s vital that we share insights across regions and sectors to accelerate progress. This event brought together experts from diverse backgrounds to dive deep into issues like energy access, affordability, and the reduction of burdens on local communities. With local communities on the front lines of climate change, global dialogue on energy justice is more important than ever.
