A recent Environmental Protection Agency study warned that people of color are more likely to live in areas hit by flooding, extreme heat and the greatest impacts from climate change. Communities of color and working-class Americans who live in areas with fossil fuel plants also disproportionately suffer from the resultant air and water pollution. On Thursday, Oct. 28 at 11:30 a.m. ET, EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan joins Washington Post Live to discuss the path forward to transitioning to clean energy and how inequality is contributing to a public health crisis, and climate activists Jerome Foster II and Leah Thomas join to talk about the intersectional environmental movement.

While the vaccines are a great next step in fighting the pandemic, we can’t lower our guard. Not all countries have broad access to vaccination. In the U.S. people that have access to vaccines may not have been  vaccinated, and children may not be vaccinated until much later in the year. Variants of concern will inevitably continue to appear, and we are seeing areas of the world where infections are at their peak and continue to trend up. As we consider travel and move about the world again, how can we remain safe while traveling? The U.S. State Department  warned against travel to about 80% of the world only last month, as many countries continue to contend with surges of the virus. Setting up a testing protocol that is flexible and timely, and keep travelers safe, will be key. Some countries, airports and airlines are already implementing testing measures systematically with success. What does the future of travel look like? We will discuss in this segment.
