Climate Justice: Human Rights Considerations with Climate Change
Speaker: Eleanor Stein, Attorney and Environmental Advocate
This month our EBWA speaker will be Eleanor Stein who teaches Law of Climate Change at Albany Law School and UAlbany, with an emphasis on climate justice. She also serves on the Advisory Board of the Rocky Mountain Institute’s eLab and on the Board of EcoViva, a US-based project in solidarity with climate adaptation in rural El Salvador. As an administrative law judge at New York State’s Public Service Commission, she adjudicated most of New York State’s proceedings on renewable energy and energy efficiency, and mediated the post-Superstorm Sandy collaborative on climate resilience. From 2014-2015 she was project manager for the State’s Reforming the Energy Vision and in 2015 she received a Master of Laws degree with distinction in climate change law from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. All women are welcome to join us on Zoom to hear about and discuss this important topic.
