The groups most exposed to the risks of climate change must have a leading role in the effort to contain—and survive—global warming, argued Elizabeth Yeampierre in the annual Rose Sheinberg Lecture on October 3. For more than 23 years, Yeampierre has led Brooklyn’s UPROSE, a Latino community-based organization focused on sustainability, and she is co-chair of the Climate Justice Alliance, a network that seeks environmental justice and equitable economic change. She was introduced by Juan Cartagena, president and general counsel of LatinoJustice PRLDEF.
