SUMMARY:Minority Producers in the Climate Transition
DESCRIPTION:Minority farmers and ranchers are a critical component of our nation’s food security\, land management\, and environmental stewardship pathways. Yet farmers and ranchers of color remain severely under-invested in and underserved across the spectrum of public agricultural programs. This panel will discuss the state of minority producers in the climate transition\, the alternative pathways created by minority producers for information and resource access as a result of exclusion from past and current government programs\, and the role of economists and researchers in developing sustainable agriculture solutions for climate change that reflect the different opportunities and pathways available to producers of color. \nSpeakers: \n– Seanicaa (Edwards) Herron\, Freedmen Heirs Foundation \n– Dr. LaKisha Odom\, Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research \n– Suzanne Russo\, Resources for the Future (Moderator)

SUMMARY:Interconnected Injustices: Understanding Cumulative Impacts
DESCRIPTION:Across the United States\, low-income communities and communities of color are subject to an array of environmental burdens such as pollution\, limited healthcare\, and systemic racism. These stressors aren’t independent: one burden can make individuals disproportionately vulnerable to others. However\, cumulative impacts are not always considered by environmental justice screening tools and other policy processes. There have been some recent changes in the US to address this problem. New state laws are attempting to address cumulative impacts\, and federal funding through the Inflation Reduction Act and Justice40 is largely geared toward Environmental Justice initiatives. With these new policies\, the tools policymakers are using to carry out environmental policy must incorporate cumulative impacts. \nJoin Resources for the Future (RFF) on Wednesday\, April 10 for “Environmental Justice: Understanding Cumulative Impacts\,” the second webinar in our 2024 Exposure event series. At this event\, we will dive deep into these cumulative impacts and the importance of understanding them when shaping environmental policy. \nSpeakers: \n• Ana Baptista\, The New School \n• Peggy Shepard\, WE ACT for Environmental Justice \n• Lucija Muehlenbachs\, University of Calgary and Resources for the Future (Moderator)
