LWVFL Lunch & Learn Series
This week's webinar will feature a conversation surrounding the ability for city/county leaders to address climate change by electrifying transportation! Climate change is a reality for Florida and the
rest of the world. Transportation, fueled by fossil fuels, is a major contributor to producing the
carbon emissions which are causing climate change. By electrifying transportation vehicles, a significant
amount of carbon will be reduced.
City and county officials have an important role to play
in the transformation of transportation. To spur this transformation, Leagues around our state can advocate with their local officials to remove barriers and install incentives to electric vehicle adoption. Dory Larsen, from the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, joins our program to offer strategies to persuade local officials to take action.
We are at a critical juncture on climate change. We need to move quickly over the next ten years. Electrification of transportation will be key to success. The League can make a difference! Join us on Friday, September 24th at 1:00 p.m. (ET) to learn more!
