Sunrise Senior College Online Course Registration

With all the concerns and red flags coming out of Washington DC, SSC is pleased to offer this single-session presentation on the current status of climate action and clean energy for Maine.

The Natural Resources Council of Maine (NRCM) is the state’s leading environmental advocacy organization. It works across multiple issue areas to improve the cleanliness of Maine’s air and water, ensure the efficacy of recycling and sustainability programs, and facilitate climate action in Maine. Our presenter Josh Caldwell is NRCM’s Climate and Clean Energy Policy Advocate and Outreach Manager and he works on NRCM’s Climate and Clean Energy team.

In this presentation Josh will provide us an overview of Maine’s climate and clean energy goals alongside the opportunities that are available for you in which to engage in climate action. He will tell us how NRCM works with other organizations, businesses, and individuals across Maine to implement effective climate solutions. We will also learn that much of NRCM’s work takes place with legislators at the State House, but the real key to making positive change is to connect decision-makers with the people they represent.

Presenter: Josh Caldwell grew up in West Gardiner and attended Bates College where he majored in Environmental Studies. Josh is NRCM’s Climate and Clean Energy Policy Advocate and Outreach Manager.
