Fall in Love with the Future: Empowering Local Climate Action: Education, Policy and Practice

Kick off your PNW Climate Week right! It’s time to take solutions into our own hands. Enjoy the company of other youth and advocates of all ages who are ready to race to save the planet. There is no better way to launch a week dedicated to our planet than by grounding ourselves in hope, strategy and community. 

Imagine this: We’ve been to the future, and we did it! What does Portland look like, feel like, and breathe like? We will start our day at 9:00 am by working in interactive groups to map out our ultimate climate goals. As we talk, a live visual artist will draw our collective hopes and dreams, right before our eyes, creating a vibrant, visual blueprint for the rest of the week and beyond. 

Then, inspired by John Doerr’s Speed & Scale: An Action Plan for Solving Our Climate Crisis Now, we will enjoy panels and workshops focused on:

  • Climate-forward Transportation

  • Decarbonizing the Grid and Infrastructure

  • Fixing Food

  • Protecting Nature

  • Cleaning Up Industry

A lunch will be provided, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options.

Enjoy a key note from Graham Zimmerman from Protect Our Winters at 5:30 pm with a reception to follow.
