The 2030 date to achieve the Paris Climate Accords carbon target is forcing
all of us to rethink "Business As Usual”.  New York's recent commitment to
9GW of OffShore Wind is a game changer for this technology option in the
US. Join NYSERDA's Adrienne Downey for an inside look at how this new
industry will grow in the northeast over the next few years.


This webinar is part of a year-long project: *Solve Climate By 2030*
<http://www.solveclimateby2030.org/>  sponsored by *The Bard Center for
Environmental Policy* <http://www.bard.edu/cep>  The project takes as its
starting point recent IPCC report that we have only ten years to forestall
catastrophic climate change. Tthe project culminates on April 7, 2020
in a national
Power Dialog: 52 simultaneous, university hosted webinars, one in every
state, DC and Puerto Rico. In these webinars, local climate solutions
experts will suggest three ambitious but feasible state, urban, utility or
business initiatives that need to occur in Tennessee and Idaho, Missouri and
 New Jersey, Florida and Minnesota,  if we aim to forestall catastrophic
climate change. Following these state webinars, classes and other groups tuning
in will have 60 minutes for “solutions sprints” designed to identify civic
action opportunities for participants.
