 miss it! For 90 minutes on January 14 some of the nation’s leading 
 experts on climate change and local policy will be on hand, talking 
 directly with Bay Area elected officials about the implications of 
 August’s “Code Red” warning from the Intergovernmental Panel on 
 Climate Change (IPCC) and how cities are emerging as our strongest hope for 
 action.\n\nLearn what the facts are, what technology solutions are 
 available today, and how to pass good climate policy designed to achieve 
 the goals set by cities and the state.\n\nThis is a must attend event for 
 local elected officials, municipal staff and the interested public who 
 haven’t had time to read the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report Summary for 
 Policymakers, but need to know what it says and how to 
 respond.\n\n\nSPEAKERS:\n\nDr. Paul N Edwards is a Lead Author on the 
 latest IPCC 6th Assessment Report, and Director of the Program on Science, 
 Technology & Society at Stanford University, Dr. Edwards will translate the 
 science for us and answer the question: how bad is it, really?\n\nDr. Saul 
 Griffith is an engineer, inventor, climate solutions expert, Build Back 
 Better advisor, MacArthur Fellowship “Genius Grant” recipient, founder 
 of Rewiring America, and Author of Electrify: an Optimist’s Playbook for 
 Our Clean Energy Future. Dr Griffith will describe real-world technology 
 solutions and why we should “electrify everything”.\n\nVeronika 
 Vostinak is the Sustainability Analyst for the City of Half Moon Bay and 
 author of a first-in-the-nation policy that sunsets the delivery of natural 
 gas in the City by 2045. Ms. Vostinak will share just what it takes to pass 
 policies that will get cities on track to meet their goals.\n\nDr. Luis 
 Aguirre-Torres is the Director of Sustainability for the City of Ithaca, 
 NY. He is behind an ambitious plan to decarbonize all 6000 buildings in the 
 city by 2030. His efforts combine climate justice with innovative financing 
 and policy solutions to dramatically lower emissions while supporting green 
 jobs.\n\nJosh Becker is California’s District 13 State Senator who ran 
 for office on a platform of addressing climate change. He was a member of 
 the California delegation at the Glasgow Climate Change Conference (COP26) 
 in November, and serves as Vice Chair of the California Joint Legislative 
 Committee on Climate Change. Senator Becker will explain the catalytic role 
 cities play in advancing state and national climate 
 policy.\n\n\nORGANIZATIONS:\n\nMenlo Spark\nCarbon Free Silicon
