The Earth Day panel is sponsored by Transform Mid-Atlantic and Eastern Region Campus Consortium.

The climate crisis requires action at all levels, especially local and regional levels, to build resilience and reduce emissions. This panel brings together community leaders for a discussion of the most effective ways to promote meaningful climate action locally. Panelists will share examples of successful approaches used in Baltimore, the state of Maryland, and the college town of Cambridge, Mass., and provide some ways in which we all can work together to protect our communities.
