Keynote panel set for CCL's virtual conference in December
With the election now over and a new administration taking office that
has vowed to make climate change a top priority, we have new
opportunities to enact climate solutions.
A policy like a carbon fee and dividend is politically viable, CCL's
Senior Director for Government Affairs Ben Pendergrass said in a recent
InsideClimate News
[link removed]
article. "We've been working to build out support, and there's still
work to be done," Ben said.
At our upcoming "United We Move" conference, we'll do that work and get
ready for success in 2021.
The conference, taking place Dec. 5-7, will feature a keynote panel of
some of our favorite speakers:
Hahrie Han, political science professor at Johns Hopkins
Shi-Ling Hsu, law professor at Florida State University and author of
"The Case for a Carbon Tax"
John Wood, Jr., Director of Public Outreach at Braver Angels
CCL Executive Director Mark Reynolds will moderate the panel discussion
and a Q&A afterward. Will we see you there?

Media: Kids call for climate action
The day before Halloween, kids in Sudbury, Canada, decided to dress up
and walk the streets calling for action on climate change. They were
supported by their local Citizens' Climate Lobby group, and their
Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) came out in costumes, too. MPPs
Jamie West and France Gélinas presented the youth with a special
Parliamentary certificate
[link removed]
on the occasion, which marked two years of striking with Greta Thunberg.
CBC Kids News made a short documentary

about their COVID-safe Halloween adventures.
CCL volunteers are regularly activating the " five levers
