Our Environmental Action Team invites you to a Free Public Panel discussion on wildfires and the climate crisis. The panel will explore how to balance investments in emergency response and climate preparedness with spending on climate action that drives down emissions, so that we can reduce extreme weather events, ensure our communities and workers are safe, and ensure a liveable world for future generations.
