12 Feb Climate Change Community Forum 2025
Carrying the Climate Fight Into the Future
Global Goals and Local Actions: the Path Forward
Wed. March 12, 2025, 6:30-8
Meetinghouse Arts
40 Main St., Freeport
Speaker panel and community forum at the international, national, state and local levels.
Hear what’s going strong in the fight against climate change, where there is still action to take, and where to find hope.
On March 12 we are taking stock of where we are in the climate crisis. We are facing hard realities, especially given the latest and ever-changing political environment. Everyone aware of the climate situation recognizes that moving forward with climate action is critical and requires that we propel each other to leap forward despite potential roadblocks and oppositions. This is not a time for local, state, or federal stakeholders to give up.There is good news, and plenty of it.
On this night we will summarize some of the solutions already underway and outline paths moving forward at the local, state, federal and even international levels. Then the guest panelists will take questions from the audience for a community conversation. Our goal is that members of the audience will feel more hopeful at the end of the discussion than when they walked in, and that individuals will leave with ideas about how they can be a part of climate action in 2025.
