The racist economic policies of the past century set the stage for today’s climate emergency. The economic policies we set right now will determine how we deal with the crisis—and if we can do so in an equitable way that supports everyone, especially those who are already facing the worst consequences of climate change.
Join us for a discussion about how we must use economic policies to fight climate change. The virtual talk will be moderated by Hot Take’s Amy Westervelt with an expert panel including Roosevelt Institute Director of Climate Policy Rhiana Gunn-Wright and the New Republic climate reporter Kate Aronoff.

What new economic policies are in place that can reduce the impacts of climate change in an equitable way?
What else must we do—and by when—to use economic policy to fight climate change?
