Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming - Energy and Global Warming Solutions for Vulnerable Communities - Many of the world’s poorest communities are also the ones most in danger from these twin challenges.

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.
