Energy and Global Warming Solutions for Vulnerable Communities - Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming - 2007-10-18 - Many of the world's poorest communities are also the ones most in danger from these twin challenges. Whether it is geographic location in low-lying areas, or rough economic conditions made even worse by unstable or high energy prices, or the severe health effects of a warming earth, global warming and oil dependence hit these communities hard. Witnesses will discuss these challenges, as well as the solutions available to these problems. WITNESS LIST: Mr. Martin Luther King III, C.E.O, Realizing the Dream, Inc.; Mr. Mike Williams, Board Member, National Tribal Environmental Council; Mr. Amjad Abdulla, Assistant Director General, Ministry of Environment, Energy and Water, Government of the Republic of Maldives; Dr. Eileen Gauna, Professor, University of New Mexico.
