How will we power our future? Can we create a healthy and clean economy?

Climate One at the Commonwealth Club is at the forefront of the global debate about energy, economy, and the environment.

Bringing together the brightest and most provocative leaders of our time, Climate One is the place where big ideas get heard.

With thoughtful and insightful discussions on policy, business, science, and culture,

Climate One founder Greg Dalton gets to the heart of the matter.

It's our future. It's time to come together.

With income disparity at the center of the presidential campaign, our show today looks at the

opportunity to build an economy that is clean and inclusive.

For more than a century, fossil fuels helped lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty

and propelled economic growth.

But in the recent Paris climate deal, 195 countries agreed to move away from fossil fuels in coming decades.

Remains to be seen if the emerging green economy will be more equitable and inclusive

than the brown economy, which often concentrates pollution in poor communities of color.

Will low-income and immigrant families be left behind

in the move to solar panels, electric cars, and organic strawberries?

Will poor neighborhoods be the first to be abandoned

when rising seas start flooding various streets more frequently?

This hour will talk about these and other questions of climate equity

with our live audience at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco.

Our program today is generously underwritten by the San Francisco Foundation and the Seed Fund.

We're pleased to have with us three experts on environmental justice.
