SUMMARY:Ignite Environmental Justice (Allegheny Valley)
DESCRIPTION:New Sun Rising and RiverWise invite you to receive support designing and pitching your community project. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDo you or your community envision a project that could improve health\, climate resilience\, and/or economic opportunity?  Nonprofits\, municipal leaders\, and residents in Allegheny County are encouraged to get support by attending an Ignite EJ workshop.  Participants will be better informed about how Environmental Justice relates to their community project and accessing federal Justice 40 grants\, while receiving support to develop and communicate their project plan. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Environmental Justice designation identifies communities that are considered disadvantaged due to exceeding the burden thresholds established in one or more of the following areas: climate change\, energy\, health\, housing\, legacy pollution\, transportation\, waste & wastewater\, and workforce development\, and an associated socioeconomic burden. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nParticipants will be better informed about how Justice 40 and Environmental Justice relates to their community project as well as how to prepare for government funding opportunities.

SUMMARY:Priority Climate Action Plan
DESCRIPTION:As part of the IRA\, the DEP is administering a new grant program funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to combat damaging climate pollution. The Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program will use the funding to provide grants to states\, local governments\, tribes\, and territories to develop climate action plans and implement projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air co-pollutants. This program aims to achieve three objectives: \n\n\n\n\nTackle damaging climate pollution while supporting the creation of good jobs and lowering energy costs for families.\n\n\n\nAccelerate work to address environmental injustice and empower community-driven solutions in overburdened neighborhoods.\n\n\n\nDeliver cleaner air by reducing harmful air pollution in places where people live\, work\, play\, and go to school.\n\n\n\n\nBy reducing these GHG emissions and other air pollutants\, we can reduce the human impact on the environment and improve health outcomes related to climate hazards. The CPRG program has two funding phases: planning and implementation.Outreach and EngagementDuring the planning phase\, the commonwealth will develop climate action plans that identify emissions reduction measures. The Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) by March 1\, 2024\, and a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) by July 1\, 2025. The PCAP will include greenhouse gas reductions that are a priority for Pennsylvania communities and businesses\, focusing on strategies for the industrial sector.As a part of our engagement process\, DEP is hosting meetings in communities around the state\, as well as this virtual session\, to convene with residents\, learn about their needs and climate concerns\, and incorporate their priorities into its PCAP. Public outreach will continue through the end of the CPRG Planning Phase in 2027. \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Community Choice Aggregation:  Boroughs are Ready!
DESCRIPTION:Join the Pennsylvania Solar Center and their panel of experts to learn more about Community Choice Aggregation (CCA)\, an opportunity for Pennsylvania boroughs to advance solar in their communities. CCA is well established in more than a dozen states\, and it has already been authorized for Pennsylvania boroughs to take action. CCA enables local governments to choose electricity providers for their constituents while residents and local businesses can opt out of CCA at any time. When combined with solar\, CCA provides strong energy price stability and lower energy costs compared to what individual consumers can negotiate on their own.   \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Designing Successful State Energy Office IRA Rebate Programs
DESCRIPTION:Webinar #4 (November 16): How to Leverage IRA Programs to Offer Whole-Home Solutions \n\n\n\nThe final webinar in the series will highlight ways that SEOs can harmonize IRA rebates with other programs to offer whole-home solutions. \n\n\n\nMany people\, especially those living in low-income households or disadvantaged communities\, are in need of more than just one appliance upgrade. States can better meet these families’ needs if they can effectively engage with such households and communities to find strategies that offer multiple benefits at once\, and help residents afford\, navigate and sequence their needed improvements. \n\n\n\nCome hear about what SEOs and implementers can do to meet households’ whole-house needs! \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Inspire Speakers Series presents: Everything Old is New Again: A Lesson In Material Reuse
DESCRIPTION:The circular economy is an economic system based on the reuse and regeneration of materials or products.  While the notion was first theorized in the1930s and evolved into a movement with the book Cradle to Cradle in the early 2000s\, many cultures and communities have already been following a reuse lifestyle for generations. While the circular economy relates to any type of consumer product\, it can be especially impactful when applied to the buildings where we spend our time. Our buildings contain thousands of materials and products\, most of which are sent to the landfill at the end of use. But there are ways in which our buildings can help preserve our health\, the environment\, and our culture.  \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
