The RECESS24: National Black and Brown Clean Energy Conference is pleased to announce that Shalanda H. Baker, a distinguished expert in energy justice and equity, will be a featured speaker at this year’s event. Baker recently served as the Senate-confirmed Director of the Office of Energy Justice and Equity at the U.S. Department of Energy, where she was also the Advisor on Equity to Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm.
Prior to her pivotal role in the Department of Energy, Baker was a Professor of Law, Public Policy, and Urban Affairs at Northeastern University. With over a decade of research focused on the equity dimensions of the global energy transition from fossil fuels to cleaner resources, she is a leading voice in renewable energy law, energy justice, and policy. Baker has authored numerous articles, book chapters, and essays on these critical topics, making substantial contributions to the field.
As the co-founder and former co-director of the Initiative for Energy Justice, Baker has dedicated her career to supporting communities on the frontlines of climate change. Her influential book, “Revolutionary Power: An Activist’s Guide to the Energy Transition,” champions the notion that energy policy should be the next frontier in the fight for civil rights.
At the Department of Energy, Baker was the architect of the equity and justice framework, including the landmark Justice40 initiative, ensuring that energy justice remains a cornerstone of the clean energy transition.
