Local Solutions to Global Challenges: Creating a Green Cincinnati

About the Program: In August, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released an alarming report on the current status of the environment and the impact that it will have on humanity. Around the world, youth have become outspoken advocates in demanding that governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations make changes to ensure the sustainability of the planet. In this session, you will be inspired to “think globally and act locally.” Speakers from the City of Cincinnati’s Office of Environment & Sustainability will discuss the Green Cincinnati Plan, a bold vision to put Cincinnati on a path to 100% renewable energy and advance the sustainability, equity, and resilience of our city. Staff from Groundwork Ohio River Valley will share how they take direct action to create a greener Cincinnati, including programs that are open to high school students. Be inspired to advocate for climate issues affecting your own community and learn more about opportunities to assist in the work that local leaders are doing to create a more sustainable future.

Kelsey Hawkins-Johnson– Community Outreach Coordinator at Groundwork Ohio River Valley
