SUMMARY:Coffee & Conversation: Exploring Climate Courage
DESCRIPTION:Join presenter Ed George as he explores Andreas Karelas’ new book Climate Courage. The book tells stories of individuals and groups who refuse to be discouraged by all the ominous climate change news\, and who have gotten busy and taken action. Brave office holders support planet-friendly laws. Community activists raise up support for solar workforce job training. A network of churches commits to switch to 100% wind power. Climate Courage is a mosaic of these and other heartening tales. There is much that’s already going on in the world. You will see ideas for action; maybe they will spark ideas of your own.\n\n \nEdward V. George is retired from teaching and research in classical languages at Texas Tech University. He has been a Citizens’ Climate Lobby volunteer for four years. He and his wife Cecilia tend a xeriscaped yard and harvest rainwater with a 1\,000-gallon tank. They belong to Covenant Presbyterian Church\, Lubbock\, a PCUSA certified Earth Care Congregation.\n\n \nEVENT FORMAT:\nOur presenter will speak for 15 to 20 minutes\, then we’ll have an informal Q&A session and discussion for the remainder of the event. This event is held online on Zoom.\n\n \nHOW TO CONNECT:\nPlease RSVP on Eventbrite to receive the Zoom access information:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/…/coffee-conversation…\n\n \nSome of our past Coffee and Conversation topics have included:\n– Carbon Footprints for Business\n– Regenerative Ranching in Texas\n– Latino & Spanish-Speaking Climate Outreach\n– Austin’s REACH Carbon Pricing Plan\n– Psychology of Climate Change\n– Carbon taxes in other countries\n– Environmental racism\n– Climate legislation in Texas\n– History of Texas weather\n– Renewable energy\n– Infrastructure and climate mitigation\n– The business case for sustainability\n– How to handle difficult conversations about climate change\n\n \nTo stay updated about future events\, join us at cclusa.org/join

SUMMARY:Coffee & Conversation: Carbon Footprint for Business

SUMMARY:Electric Vehicles & the Future of Texas: An Hour With Smitty Smith\, TxETRA
DESCRIPTION:TxETRA’s Tom “Smitty” Smith speaks on the current status of electric vehicles\, their future in Texas\, and necessary legislation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Texas Electric Transportation Resources Alliance (TxETRA) is promoting the Electric Transportation Act in the Texas legislature. The Act will support the building of EV charging stations across Texas\, institute policies to make Texas the destination for EV manufacturing\, increase the use of zero emission vehicles\, and in several other ways develop a framework for the electrification of transportation in Texas. \nTom “Smitty” Smith is a long-time advocate for clean air and sustainable systems. He is currently the executive Director of TxETRA\, an Alliance of vehicle manufacturers\, dealers\, utilities\, environmentalists and consumer groups\, that are working together to develop and promote the policies needed to electrify the Texas transportation system. \nCitizens’ Climate Lobby works for national legislation that will reduce carbon dioxide emissions\, specifically the policy known as carbon fee and dividend. Organizations like TxETRA that advocate for policies and technologies that lead to reduced carbon emissions are natural allies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:United We Move: CCL's Plan For Climate Action In 2021
DESCRIPTION:The 2020 elections will shape our political strategy \nThe will to solve climate change is growing. 2021 could present historic opportunities for climate solutions\, and CCL is preparing to move forward. At this conference\, we’ll take a look at the road ahead. John Wood and Hahrie Han will discuss what the 2020 Presidential and Congressional election results mean for climate policy in 2021. And CCL’s Dr. Danny Richter will share key elements of CCL’s 2021 strategy based on the election. \nWe’ll stay true to our roots \nSome things will remain the same no matter what the election outcomes are. We’ll continue our nonpartisan\, grassroots approach. We’ll still build the relationships that turn enemies into allies\, and allies into activists. At the conference\, you’ll have an opportunity to hear about the work we do to reach out to\, include and support all different types of people to reach their potential as climate advocates. \nAnd build on our past successes   \nAs we discuss the road ahead\,  it’s important for us to review what’s worked so far\, and to build on those successes. 2020 has been a difficult year\, but there have been bright spots as we transformed our advocacy from in-person to digital. CCLers will share highlights and best practices from their work this year. \nAdd a Sunday Seminar \nEach of these virtual seminars lasts two to three hours (starting at 1pm ET on Dec. 6)\, taking our attendees deeper into the material than a standard conference breakout. When you register for the Dec. 5th conference\, you can choose to RSVP for a Sunday Seminar as well\, please select the “RSVP Sunday December 6th” ticket in addition to your Dec. 5th ticket. You can choose from one of four seminar topics: \n\nBridging the Divide on Climate Solutions presented by Braver Angels (2 hours) While most Americans understand climate change is real\, they disagree on solutions. Some seek solutions that maintain the status quo\, while others believe that the problem requires major systemic changes. This session teaches communication skills to allow people to talk more constructively with each other about solutions to climate change.\nNew Research on Carbon Pricing Benefits and CCL’s June Analysis (3 hours) Broken into 3 sections (45 mins each\, 15 min break in between)\, we’ll first cover the updated Household Impact Study; second we’ll review two papers\, one by Noah Kaufman which discusses the necessary carbon price rates to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 and another paper by Dr. Drew Shindell which speaks to the health benefits of a climate policy like H.R. 763; and finally we’ll go over the June 2020 Lobby Day notes analysis.\nA lens into race and climate (2 hours) [limited capacity] How do White and BIPOC individuals move beyond diversity to talk about race issues at a climate organization? Gain tools and practices for counteracting racial bias and microaggressions to help create a more compassionate and inclusive organization.
