Building Electrification: Climate, Health, and Equity. April 27

April 19, 2022

Momentum is growing to ban “natural” gas hookups in new buildings and hopefully create equitable programs to convert existing buildings to all-electric. Hear from a panel of experts about new research on the health effects of gas appliances in homes, how to protect your family, and how to advocate for a just transition to all-electric homes in California and beyond.

Speakers:

Jessica Guadalupe Tovar,  Local Clean Energy Alliance, fighting for equity in clean energy solutions to bring clean power to the people.

Emma Hines, RMI’s Carbon-Free Buildings program, working on the climate, health, and air quality co-benefits of building electrification.

Krystal Pollitt, assistant professor of epidemiology (Environmental Health Sciences) at the Yale School of Public Health and holds a cross appointment in the Yale School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Her research explores the relationship between exposure to complex mixtures of air pollutants and disease.

Zach Williams, Health Educator & Campaign Coordinator in the Environment & Health program at Physicians for Social Responsibility.
