Greetings!

We are looking ahead with great excitement to the Energy Action Network Summit on Thursday, September 26th at Champlain College.

The Summit will bring together Network members and public partners to focus on what it will take for Vermont to make breakthrough progress across all energy sectors while creating a more just, thriving, and sustainable future for Vermonters.

As we prepare for this critical discussion at the statewide level, we are inspired by Burlington’s recent announcement of their roadmap to net-zero energy by 2030. This is a model of the bold action needed across the state. See more below and save the date for a Leveraging Change Speaker Series event on the Burlington Roadmap on Oct 1st.

Best,

The EAN Team
