From Climate Change to Climate Action: Building a Clean, Healthy, Sustainable Future - 1.0 PDH (LA CES/non-HSW)

Climate change is the most significant environmental, health, economic, and security challenge of our time. Science tells us that time is running out to make the shift to a clean, carbon-free future, but there is hope. Gina McCarthy will explore how policies, programs, and investments in the United States and beyond can turn the corner to a clean energy future. McCarthy has dedicated her 35-year career in public service to environmental protection and public health. Her leadership and perseverance have led to federal, state, and local actions on critical environmental issues, and her significant accomplishments include action to advance environmental, clean energy, public transportation, and public health goals consistent with a growing economy in New England and across the United States.
