Join us for an end-of-year celebration of a very exciting local climate achievement, thanks to the students in the Arizona Youth Climate Coalition (AZYCC).
On October 29, the Tucson Unified School District adopted a far-reaching and bold Climate Action Resolution, researched and written by members of AZYCC, including some who were TUSD students.
Our December Sustainability Spotlight will feature Ojas Sanghi, co-lead of AZYCC, who will present an overview of the Resolution, describing the process that AZYCC undertook in developing the document, garnering community support, and advocating for its passage by the board. TUSD now has adopted the most comprehensive climate action plan in the country, but the work is not over for members of AZYCC and the many community members and organizations that want to see TUSD implement the Resolution.
We’ll hear what comes next and how we can support the students in those next steps. After a year filled with climate disasters, heat stresses, and contentious climate-policy meetings, we are indeed fortunate to have this opportunity to recognize and congratulate the determination and courage of these youth fighting for their future.
You won’t want to miss what is sure to be an inspiring presentation and discussion with Ojas.
