Due to an unanticipated scheduling conflict, Climate Chief Melissa Hoffer is unable to attend Tuesday, May 16 session of Carbon Countdown 2023. Instead, Chief Hoffer will join us at Carbon Countdown 2023 on Saturday, May 20 starting at 9am. (Note the earlier start time.)

Therefore, we have cancelled the Tuesday, May 16 Carbon Countdown event and lengthened the Saturday, May 20 event from 9am-11am, to combine both events into one session.

If you have already registered for Saturday’s event you need not register again.
If you have only registered for Tuesday’s event please register for Saturday’s event.
