Taking Climate Action
The drivers for climate action are mounting. The SEC and European Union have issued rules for greenhouse gas and financial risk-related climate reporting. Many companies now include their suppliers in ESG initiatives. The Federal Sustainability Plan drives Federal Agencies toward net-zero and climate resilient operations. Where are you on your journey?
We’ve invited two entities from the private sector and government to talk about their climate planning and action process.
- (speaker confirmed) altafiber’s sustainability vision is to connect people, free from waste or pollution, enhancing environmental quality and health in our communities. In 2021, they jump-started their commitment to reduce greenhouse gas and carbon emissions within our community and as a company. In 2022, they developed a unique climate action plan and set a science-based target to reduce emissions 40% by 2030. Hear from altafiber Sustainability Director, Nadja Turek, on progress and lessons learned from the 2.5 year process.
- (speaker invited, not yet confirmed) The City of Dayton’s Office of Sustainability oversees a comprehensive Sustainability strategy aimed at steering the City of Dayton towards greater environmental sustainability. The City started its greenhouse gas inventory in 2019, formed a Climate Strategy in 2020 and declared a Climate Emergency in 2021. It’s recently partnered with SOPEC to fund public EV charging, and Dayton was chosen by Bloomberg Philanthropies to join a three-year initiative designed to dramatically expand efforts to build a low-carbon, resilient, and economically thriving community. Hear from the City’s Energy Manager about their journey, progress and actions.
