Hello Hubbard Brookers,
Join us October 9 for the 2024 Virtual Forum on Bi-Partisan Environmental Policy
The Hubbard Brook Research Foundation, the League of Conservation Voters, the Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society at Dartmouth College, and Sustainable Futures Consulting will host a three-part public panel discussion featuring bi-partisan environmental decision-makers of the past, present, and future.
We will hear from the scientists, lawmakers, and advocacy leaders who championed the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments; current Congressional Representatives who are working across the aisle to support our changing winter economies; and young environmental activists with a shared vision for a sustainable future.
Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2024, 1:00 – 2:30 pm Eastern, via Zoom
