State-Level Student Climate Action - The Power Dialog National Update Live Webinar

ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y., March 29th, 2016 /3BL Media/ - The Bard Center for Environmental Policy (CEP) will host a national update on The Power Dialog featuring Bard CEP Director, Eban Goodstein, during the live National Climate Webinar on Wednesday, March 30th, 2016 at NOON est.

During the week of April 4th, The Power Dialog will bring together students and policy makers in 20+ state capitols around the country to create face-to-face dialog dialog on how we will meet the US Paris commitment to a 30% reduction in global warming emissions. Tune in to hear reports from the field about these upcoming events, and join a conversation about the challenges and rewards of engaging students in direct dialog with policy makers about global warming solutions. 

According to Goodstein, "With the action now beyond the partisan wrangling of Washington and the state legislatures, students can gain both a powerful learning opportunity and a real voice in the policy process. The Power Dialog is not a lobbying effort. We have no collective policy agenda for which we are advocating. Rather it is a learning opportunity for students, and also a chance for students to share their own individual thoughts and policy insights."
