You're invited to join us virtually for the 15th Annual Vermont Energy and Climate Action Network (VECAN) Conference! This year's conference is FREE thanks to this year's generous conference sponsors, and open for everyone who'd like to join.
There is tremendous opportunity in Vermont's work to advance an equitable clean energy transition in the face of climate change, and we need your help to seize it! With the development of the state's Climate Action Plan, the state's legal obligation to reduce pollution, historic federal investments in climate and more, together, we can chart a new course for Vermont. This year's virtual conference is intended to ground us in what's happening, what's needed, and some of the exciting opportunities Vermonters can help advance and access to cut costs, cut carbon and build an equitable clean energy transition.
On Saturday, December 10th from 9am-12:00pm, join us for a plenary session of the conference – Climate, Energy and Environmental Justice – An Opportunity to Build an Equitable Transition Together. We'll be joined by a robust lineup of speakers who are experts and leaders in Vermont's work to advance an equitable clean energy transition in the face of climate change. After each portion of the plenary, there will be a facilitated panel Q&A, where you can get your big questions answered and learn more about how your community can get involved.
Then, starting on Monday, December 12th through Friday, December 16th, we hope you can join us each day for a 12-1:30pm virtual workshop on a series of different topics. Each workshop will include a panel of experts and leaders in our major emissions sectors, Vermont's energy sector, leading the charge on building a Just Transition, and more! Each will include a facilitated Q&A and opportunities to engage with other community energy leaders.
