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

SUMMARY:Economic Policy IS Environmental Policy - An Intro to Sustainable Economics
DESCRIPTION:PennFuture is embarking on projects that connect economic development and environmental issues in order to promote a healthy economy\, healthy communities\, and a healthy environment. This webinar introduces this work and breaks down our recently released report “Economic Policy is Environmental Policy: Prioritizing Environmental Progress in Pennsylvania’s Department of Community and Economic Development”.

SUMMARY:How Cities Can Take Advantage of Direct Pay
DESCRIPTION:The Inflation Reduction Act provides tax incentives for the production of and investment in clean energy through a tax credit monetization called elective pay\, also known as “direct pay.” For the first time\, these clean energy tax benefits are available to entities that have been historically excluded from claiming them—such as state and local governments\, nonprofit organizations\, and other tax-exempt entities like schools\, hospitals\, places of worship\, and many more.Lawyers for Good Government have recently launched the Clean Energy Tax Navigator\, a project-specific tool to help tax-exempt entities learn about elective pay eligibility and requirements.Local government officials and decision-makers are encouraged to register for an upcoming webinar on August 22nd at 2 PM EST to learn about the tool and ways to weave various funding sources to maximize clean energy project financing. \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Community Data Justice Collaborative Information Session
DESCRIPTION:This is an initiative of the Data Justice in Pittsburgh’s Black Neighborhoods project. Data Justice in Pittsburgh’s Black Neighborhoods is a project of the Black Equity Coalition (BEC) that aims to build decision-making power for Black Pittsburghers and those that have been most-impacted by residential segregation and disinvestment by creating public processes and public power over data as it is used\, governed\, and disseminated in the City of Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\nThe Community Data Justice Collaborative are residents nominated from the public and from community organizations that will engage in decisions that the City of Pittsburgh makes about data\, technology\, and policies that will serve as the foundation of the City’s emerging data governance process. The BEC will engage the Community Data Justice Collaborative and city data stewards in participatory activities to find consensus around how the city uses data and technology. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
