EVENT OVERVIEW:

Join Sustainable Pittsburgh for a timely webinar on the recent federal policy changes and funding opportunities impacting local sustainability efforts.

However, uncertainty remains as new executive orders and pending legislation continue to shape the federal landscape. This session will provide an overview of current federal policies and their impact on both municipalities and partner organizations seeking to advance sustainable development initiatives.

Experts will share strategies for navigating existing federal funding streams and adapting to evolving federal regulations.
