This symposium is intended as a basic education and call to action for persons concerned about public policy and low-income communities. We are bringing together experts to explain how climate change will particularly affect low-income communities in Chicagoland, the basics of the cap-and-trade policy being debated in Congress and where that debate stands, the financial impact on low-income communities from cap-and-trade’s increased energy, food and other costs and alternative policy proposals to offset those added costs, and how low-income people can benefit from the sweeping policy changes that are coming through green jobs, mass weatherization projects, etc.
