Middlebury College Franklin Environmental Center will sponsor a public webinar, "Climate Solutions for Vermont," on behalf of "Solve Climate By 2030," a global teach-in designed to accelerate local solutions to climate change. The Vermont webinar is one of more than 100 events in 50 countries, 47 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. It will feature the work of Middlebury students and their community partners for an environmental studies course for seniors. The students are collaborating with local organizations to address current sustainability issues in the region and elsewhere.

The Vermont panel, which will be moderated by Jonathan Isham, professor of economics and environmental studies, is scheduled to include:

>Johanna Miller, Energy and Climate Program Director, the Vermont Natural Resources Council

>Kate Holly '21, student and Sustainability Consultant and Writer, Middlebury College

During the Zoom-based webinar, which will air live at *7 p.m., Tuesday, April 13* and requires registration, the panelists will offer their perspectives on pursuing a just and sustainable energy transition in Vermont, presenting three ongoing class projects designed to support a diverse climate-economy workforce, affordable clean-energy methods of transportation for low-income households, and zero-net energy housing for migrant workers on dairy farms.
