Dr. Katharine Hayhoe: Talking Climate in a Polarized Environment | CCL Feb 2021 Regional Conferences
Join Katharine Hayhoe for the opening plenary for CCL's February 2021 Regional Conferences as she untangles the science behind how our beliefs shape our identity and highlights the key role our values can play in shaping our conversations on this crucial topic. Climate change has become one of the most politically polarized topics in the entire country. Today, the extent to which we agree with the simple facts that climate is changing, humans are responsible, the impacts are serious, and action is needed, has nothing to do with how much science we know and everything to do with where we fall on the political spectrum. In such a polarized environment, how can we have constructive conversations that move us forward together rather than driving us further apart?

CCL Training: Legal Pathways For Deep Decarbonization
Join Michael Gerrard, Andrew Sabin Professor of Professional Practice, Columbia Law School, Faculty Director for the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, and CCL Advisory Board member for a training on the Legal Pathways to Deep Decarbonization. His team's research provides a “legal playbook” for deep decarbonization in the United States, identifying well over 1,000 model laws based on two reports by the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project (DDPP) that explain technical and policy pathways for reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% from 1990 levels by 2050. Gerrard will also identify changes needed in federal, state, and local law to help achieve these reductions and highlight ways that CCL volunteers can be engaged in highlighting these model laws out to federal, state, and local legislators.
