Health and Clean Energy

Bill Resnick speaks with Patricia Kullberg MD MPH about how premature disease, disability and death affects people of color, low income and immigrant communities in Portland, how the health gap between those who live in privilege and those who don’t is driven by social conditions; why these same communities will suffer the most from the ill effects of climate change; and how the Portland Clean Energy Initiative could mitigate some of those effects and help build healthier neighborhoods. 

Here is her paper on Health Equity and the Portland Clean Energy Initiative in collaboration with  Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility.
