Fourth Jewish Climate Action Conference

In this workshop, we'll explain solar opportunities for synagogues and nonprofits, and provite updates and predictions for federal and state incentives

Two houses of worship were burning system was deteriorating. In this workshop, we'll explain what actions they took, engaging with firms to scope out clean heat retrofits so they were ready and not forced into urgent fossil fuel drop-in replacements. Both institutions considered "total cost of ownership" over the long-term and made principled commitments to clean heat, rather than investing in another 20+ years of burning hydrocarbons. We'll show how they found solutions to provide 85% decarbonization and more.

In this workshop, you'll learn about divestment from support of fossil fuel industry in all aspects of financial life

We’ll provide new info, new stats that climate activists want to know mid-2025: Are we working together fast enough to achieve ambitious climate goals? How about where I live? Are there enough electric vehicles in the town? How many heatpumps are needed next year? During these next critical years for climate, can we keep decarbonizing adequately, even amidst political chaos?

We are well into a middle era of decarbonization, far enough from the early “bleeding edge” but still far from saturation. The latest numbers demonstrate these predictable stages of market adoption, and activist strategies now must shift accordingly. We’ll review the newest tools and techniques, what will endure and indeed succeed in the second half of this decade. The best approaches will de-emphasize top-down, and instead actively promote peer influence, to "say little and do much" (Pirkei Avot 1:15). אֱמֹר מְעַט וַעֲשֵׂה הַרְבֵּה
