Climate Change Policy and Low-Income Communities:
Minimizing the Pain, Maximizing the Gain 

Please join us for a special symposium on how climate change policy will particularly affect low-income communities.

This symposium is intended to inform and call to action people who are concerned about public policies affecting low-income communities. We bring together experts to explain how climate change particularly affects low-income communities in Chicagoland, the basics of the cap-and-trade policy being debated in Congress and its current standing, the financial impact of cap-and-trade on costs of energy, food, and other necessities and alternative policy proposals to offset these added costs, and how low-income people can benefit from sweeping changes that are coming through green jobs and mass weatherization projects, among others.

With
Evelyn Diaz, Deputy Chief of Staff, Office of the Mayor, City of Chicago
Jennifer Kefer,Senior Advisor,Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
Rebecca Stanfield, Senior Energy Advocate, Midwest Office of the Natural Resources Defense Council
