We are at an inflection point. On Thursday, December 3rd, Climate Solutions was joined by two incredible thought leaders for a needed post-election conversation about this critical juncture for climate, clean energy and a just economic recovery.  

A virtual fundraising event for Climate Solutions featuring:  

  • Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, a marine biologist, policy expert, and Brooklyn native. She is founder of the non-profit think tank Urban Ocean Lab, founder and CEO of the consultancy Ocean Collectiv, and co-creator and co-host of the Spotify/Gimlet podcast How to Save a Planet. She co-edited the anthology All We Can Save, and co-founded The All We Can Save Project in support of women climate leaders. Her mission is to build community around climate solutions. Find her @ayanaeliza. 
  • Majora Carter:  real estate developer, urban revitalization strategy consultant, MacArthur Fellow and Peabody Award winning broadcaster. Majora is responsible for the creation and successful implementation of numerous economic development, technology, green-infrastructure projects, policies and job training & placement systems. Find her @MajoraCarter. 

Meredith Connolly, Climate Solutions' Oregon Director hosted the event; Gregg Small, Climate Solutions’ Executive Director provided remarks about our upcoming work, Vee Paykar, Climate Solutions’ Oregon Transportation Policy Manager moderated the panel discussion with our featured speakers, and KC Golden discussed Climate Solutions and our work helping to drive transformational change.

Thanks so much to our generous sponsors and hosts!
