We’re happy to announce the date for our National Washington DC Summit with the Department of Energy will be November 11-13, 2024. As more benefits from the climate provisions in the
IRA are announced regularly there will be informative sessions to help elected officials know where to apply.

Foundation. We were fortunate to have forty-two participants who learned about the principals we teach in our Certified Program, focusing on emotional intelligence. We also participated
in a talk to help community members from the horrific Maui fires. Shortly afterwards a Mental Health Climate Resilience bill was submitted for consideration in the Hawaii State legislature,
having been introduced by the budget committee chair.

than May.

Offshore Wind progress—
The transition to renewable energy is the only path to energy independence in a world of extreme weather caused by the climate crisis — which continues to be fueled by the use of fossil
fuels. Harnessing never ending clean offshore wind is critical for our nation to replace dirty fossil fuels. As more people purchase electric vehicles, and electric heat pumps, with
the aid of the Inflation Reduction Act’s tax incentives, the demand for electricity increases.
Offshore wind is key to help meet that demand as combustion engines, furnaces and air conditioners are replaced.
In January we hosted a national offshore wind press conference <https://click.everyaction.com/k/80584637/459793127/-1313565785?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwNy8xLzg3ODYyIiw

Fossil Fuel Phase out—
In California, we continue to fight to ensure the 3,200 safety zone setbacks from oil and gas wells remains the law, idle wells are cleaned up, and no new permits for the oil and gas
industry are issued. We’re also keeping a close eye on the progress to make sure price gouging fines are enforced.
