Jumping off the amazing energy that's emerging nationally for strong action on global warming, KyotoNOW!, together with other student and community organizations around New York State, plan to organize the New York State Climate Summit 2007. Scheduled for November 16-18, the summit's goals will be to 1) train students and community members to lead effective energy campaigns in their campuses or communities, and 2) to develop an agreed-upon plan to launch a strategic campaign to pressure Albany to pass legislation requiring 80% reductions in greenhouse gas emissions below 1990 levels by 2050.
With states like California, New Jersey, Oregon, Minnesota, and others leading on this important issue with binding targets, New York should become a leading state in the fight against global warming. Stay tuned for more as we develop our plans for the summit. To get involved, please contact Carlos Rymer at carlos.rymer@gmail.com.
