Closing the Climate Gap: perspectives on environmental justice and the Bay Area's future
While climate change affects us all, it will have a more severe effect on people of color and the poor. Join us for a presentation by UC Berkeley's

The Climate Gap (2009), followed by a panel discussion of what Bay Area businesses and organizations are doing to reduce the disproportionate impacts of climate change. Panelists include educator
