UMD Hosts Climate Action Forum - May 5/6

On May 4, the University of Maryland will host the Climate Action 2016 forum, a public conference ​in support of the objectives of ​the Climate Action 2016 multi-stakeholder summit to be held in Washington, DC on May 5-6. Held at the Stamp Student Union at the University of Maryland, the forum will provide an opportunity for discussion among ​academia and ​a diverse range of stakeholders with an interest in ​advancing ​the climate implementation agenda post-Paris.
 
The forum will convene some 20 sessions across six thematic tracks: city and sub-national implementation, resilience/adaptation, energy, sustainable land-use, analysis & tools to support decision-making, and climate & society. An opening plenary session will feature U.S. Senator Ben Cardin, a luncheon plenary will include Mr. Stephen Heintz, President of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and a closing plenary will feature former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley and the next generation of student climate leaders.
