Webinar: False Climate Solutions: Don’t Believe the Hype

When: Tuesday, February 23, 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. ET

Where: Online! Once you RSVP, we'll send you the link to join.

Hear from policy experts about the false climate solutions being used to undermine serious climate action – and what we can do to change that. We'll cover pay-to-pollute schemes like cap-and-trade and carbon pricing, unproven carbon capture technology, and dirty "renewable" factory farm biogas.

Meet the experts:

Dr. Tamra Gilbertson is the carbon pricing education coordinator and climate change policy advisor of the Indigenous Environmental Network. She has a PhD from the University of Tennessee, Department of Sociology. She mainly works on environmental and climate justice, social movements, and extractive industry research, as well as carbon pricing, forests, and land policies related to development policies. Tamra is also a lecturer at the University of Tennessee.

June Sekera, a public policy manager with over 30 years of experience at the federal, state and local levels of government, is currently a scholar and researcher whose work is focused on policy with regard to one particular form of climate change intervention: carbon capture and sequestration. June is a Visiting Scholar at The New School for Social Research, a Senior Research Fellow at Boston University’s Global Development Policy Center, and a Senior Research Associate at the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose at University College London.

Jim Walsh currently serves as the Senior Energy Policy Analyst for Food & Water Watch, working with state and national organizations to educate decision makers on policies that help facilitate a rapid and just transition off fossil fuels.

We'll be using a web conferencing platform called Zoom so you can see faces — we recommend that you join from a computer if you can.
