Education and Engagement

Inspire hope & action.

We promote ways to reduce our impact on the climate while engaging the community on how climate change will affect our lives.

We are doing this by:

  • Sponsoring outreach events such as film screenings, panel discussions, and informal meetups
  • Inspiring citizens to create climate solutions in their own lives and communities
  • Foster networking and collaboration among community leaders on climate related issues
  • Involving the public in decision-making
