SUMMARY:SCDN Policy Connection: Climate Action Planning - Resources and Funding Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Event Description:  \n\n\n\nClimate action plans provide both a structured framework and strategies to help local governments mitigate and adapt to climate change impacts. There are numerous benefits enabled by climate action\, including workforce development opportunities\, enhanced public health and quality of life\, cost savings\, and reputable regional leadership. When effectively implemented\, climate action plans strengthen community resilience and contribute to a more sustainable\, healthy\, and vibrant community. However\, knowing where\, when\, and how to start can be challenging.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoin Sustainable Pittsburgh and guest speakers to learn about actionable resources that can help local governments and other organizations take action on climate resilience and adaptation. Speakers will provide expert analysis of new resources available that support climate action\, carbon reduction\, and social equity\, including tools to find funding for clean energy projects\, programs available to municipalities to fund projects\, and supportive programs that build local climate action capacity.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGuest Speakers  \n\n\n\n\nBrandi Robinson\, Associate Teaching Professor and Co-Director of the Local Climate Action Program\, Penn State University\n\n\n\nChris Nafe\, Energy Program Specialist\, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection\, Energy Programs Office\n\n\n\nSarah Pinter\, Energy Program Specialist\, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection\, Energy Programs Office\n\n\n\nAlayna Schmeider\, Energy Program Specialist\, Pennsylvania Energy Development Authority\n\n\n\nAccess Speaker Bios\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend: \n\n\n\n\nLocal Government Leaders\n\n\n\nMunicipal Managers/Planners\n\n\n\nCommunity Sustainability Practitioners\n\n\n\nLocal Government Consultants\n\n\n\nLeaders and Professionals interested in reducing carbon emissions \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
