From Paris to New York: A People’s Agenda for Preventing Climate Change

December 9, 2015 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Free

In December, world leaders are meeting in Paris to negotiate a treaty that we hope will lead to a drastic reduction in greenhouse gas pollution.

Regardless of the outcome, New Yorkers will continue the fight against climate change catastrophe that threatens our families and communities.

Join us for a discussion about plans to stop our reliance on fossil fuels and transition to renewable energy in New York. We’ll receive updates on what’s happening in Paris. And we’ll learn from community leaders about plans to divest from fossil fuels, stop fracking infrastructure, and create a just transition to clean energy.

Free & open to the public

Co-sponsors include: Sierra Club, National Nurses United, 350NYC, Jews Against Hydrofracking, Union Theological Seminary, Center for Earth Ethics, Green Education & Legal Fund, United for Action, Frack Action, NYPIRG
