On April 7, 2020, at 7pm, colleges in every state in the US will engage in a new set of power dialogs. Solve Climate by 2030, organized through the Bard Center for Environmental Policy, will host a nationally coordinated on-line event with hundreds of participating schools in every state. The Pennsylvania event will be hosted through PERC Member school Penn State. The Pennsylania webinar will focus on strategies that Pennsylvania can adopt to address climate change in the next ten years. Grant Ervin, Chief Resiliency Officer, City of Pittsburgh, will serve as moderator for the evening. Panelists include:
- Jacqui Bonomo, Executive Director, PennFuture
- Joylette Portlock, Executive Director, Sustainable Pittsburgh
- Hannah Smith-Brubaker, Executive Director, Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture

We hope this webinar will set the stage for events on each PERC campus that can become part of this far-reaching initiative. (Note that the timing and scheduling of local events is, in the end, up to each individual campus and community, based on their needs and whether they want to coordinate with the national Solve Climate event.)
Resources and links to help with setting up an event on your campus can be found on PERC's page for this Pennsylvania-wide Solve Climate by 2030 event.
