Climate Justice with Indian Member of Parliament Ritesh Pandey

The term “climate justice” acknowledges that climate change can have different social, economic, public health, and other adverse impacts on underprivileged populations. This is a challenge India confronts head on, often suffering the brunt of climate impacts. Addressing these inequities will take short- and long-term mitigation and adaptation strategies. In this Club lunch, Indian Member of Parliament Ritesh Pandey will give his take on the issue and solutions to confront it, while students may ask about Pandey’s experiences as a policymaker, how he got to where he is today, as well as his efforts to confront climate, energy and environment challenges in India more broadly.
