RCAT's Climate Conversations Start April 28, Plus Other Resources

The Rotary Climate Action Team Network (RCAT) invites you to the April 28 launch of a Zoom series called Climate Conversations, at 4 pm Pacific Time (UTC – 7). The first session will feature RCAT Network leaders and Global Climate Change Ambassadors. Register here. 
 

RCAT's Climate Conversations  will be hosted by Gary H. White, a Rotarian from the RCAT chapter in San Mateo, California, US, and a full-time climate activist trained by former US Vice President Al Gore. The series will bring projects, ideas, information, and hopefully inspiration to our viewers as we conduct engaging conversations with Rotarian and other people taking climate action.

As most of you are aware, the IPCC Assessment #6, Working Group 3 report Mitigation of Climate Change was released April 4.  Given the urgent message in this report, we at RCAT recommend that you watch the IPCC press conference including the powerful words of Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations, or read the press release.
