Housing and energy are the core of environmental justice. The housing in low-income communities — defined as an area in which 23.59 percent or more of the population lives at or below the poverty line — is frequently older and energy inefficient. In turn, poor households not only pay disproportionately large amounts of their income on energy but also struggle to maintain a healthy environment in their home. Landlords generally don’t have adequate incentives to improve the energy efficiency of their properties, which slows progress toward improving the quality of affordable housing and providing access to other clean energy solutions like rooftop solar. For renters, Black, Native American, and Latinx households are more likely than White households to be impacted by these poor housing conditions. The Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA will host a discussion on energy and environmental justice in the context of urban housing and energy efficiency retrofits to improve performance and livability. Moderator: — Richard Kauffman, Adjunct Senior Research Scholar, Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA Panelists: — Ariel Drehobl, Local Policy Manager, Energy Equity, American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy — Sage Green, Technical Project Officer on the State Energy Planning team in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the US Department of Energy — John Washington, People’s Action #HomesGuarantee Organizer — This webinar will be hosted via Zoom.

President Donald Trump has made energy a clear focus for his second term in the White House. Having campaigned on an “America First” platform that highlighted domestic fossil-fuel growth, the reversal of climate policies and clean energy incentives advanced by the Biden administration, and substantial tariffs on key US trading partners, he declared an “energy emergency” on his first day in office.
While he hasn’t released an official plan, Trump’s playbook the last time he was in office and his frequent complaints about clean energy offer clues to what’s ahead.
November’s election for president of the United States will have crucial implications for the nation’s and world’s energy and climate policies.
