2021 Events & News
On Tuesday, April 13, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM, the Franklin Environmental Center at Hillcrest will host a webinar as part of a global climate education project called Solve Climate By 2030, which is helping teachers and concerned citizens worldwide to get up to date about global and local paths to a just and sustainable energy transition.
Our Vermont event–among more than 100 webinars in 45 countries around the world, including almost all 50 US states, Puerto Rico, and DC–will focus on big, ambitious things that we can do in our state to help solve climate change, thereby creating well-paid jobs and taking on societal injustices.
More information about Vermont’s webinar, which requires registration, can be found via the announcement here. I hope that you will share this announcement with your students and encourage them to join this event next week. Moreover, high-school teachers are a key audience for the Solve Climate team: please share this announcement with any Vermont-based teachers in your world.
