Two things: Education and climate change. This week, VECAN’s week-long conference is underway, with time left still to participate. And, we’re beginning to look forward to the 2023 legislative session with an informative webinar in early January.
Stay informed, stay connected. Two things!

COMING UP: Legislative Look Forward on Clean Energy and Climate Opportunities in 2023 (January Webinar)
Vermont continues to fall short in meeting our emissions reduction requirements, as well as our resilience and adaptation goals, but a new legislative biennium offers tremendous opportunity. Buoyed by an electoral mandate from Vermonters, lawmakers can help ensure Vermont takes concrete steps this legislative session to accelerate bold, equitable climate action at the scale and pace the transformation requires.
Join us for a webinar at noon on January 9th to hear how the recent election has changed the landscape and makeup of the Vermont State House, and some key steps the new legislature can take on climate. Get an update on anticipated new (or improved) policies likely to be considered this session, including affordable, cleaner heat, a modernized Renewable Energy Standard for our electricity sector, opportunities to continue to make our transportation system more clean, multi-modal and accessible to all, and more! There will be opportunity to ask and get your questions answered, as well as find out how you can stay engaged as the Legislature’s work ramps up.
Please plan to join us at noon on January 9th – and spread the word!
