The in-person event day on Saturday 8/13 will include a breakfast at 9am, sessions from 10am - 6pm with a lunch break in between, and end with a sponsored reception from 6pm - 9pm.
This year, our Symposium’s theme is “Energy vs Power: Visions for the Future,” highlighting energy justice, climate change, power dynamics in environmental justice, and the use of technology in environmental justice work. Sessions with discussions on ongoing critical themes such as food sovereignty, healthcare access, community science, environmental justice mapping tools, climate justice, law, policy, and new, relevant topics in just and clean energy transitions will be “energetically” covered.
