FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pennsylvania Coalition Hosts Press Conference on Path to Equitable Climate Solutions: Evolving Energy Policy and Strategies
(Feb. 13) Philadelphia, PA – PennFuture, in collaboration with Clean Air Council and PennEnvironment, will host clean energy and public health leaders from the Philadelphia-area to highlight the latest resources, research, training, and progress that citizens can draw upon to move toward a future that relies on clean energy and energy efficiency technologies during an upcoming discussion.
In addition to discussing the clean energy resources and jobs now available to local residents, the speakers will also address the need to find solutions for existing social inequality around access to those resources. The press conference, to be held at 11:30 a.m., Tuesday, Feb. 20 at the Community College of Philadelphia, will include speakers from nonprofit organizations, private groups, educational institutions, and city government, each working to build social equity while addressing climate change.
As the state seeks progress in growing the number of clean energy jobs available to all citizens, the speakers’ work has included managing solar and energy efficiency training programs in Philadelphia, which are intended to provide opportunities for well-paying jobs in low-income neighborhoods. Speakers will address how clean energy is helping homeowners save money on their utility bills, reducing carbon emissions and air pollution, effectively improving public health, and building the economy.
