SUMMARY:Building a Sustainable Tomorrow: Key Updates on Illinois Legislation (LWV Elgin Area)
DESCRIPTION:April is Earth Month\, and this year\, the focus is on environmental protection and celebrating our planet\, with the theme “Our Power\, Our Planet” and a push for renewable energy. To celebrate\, the League of Women Voters of the Elgin Area is hosting an engaging virtual program on climate change and environmental justice.\nIllinois continues to lead the charge with significant climate legislation. Building on the successes of the Future Energy Jobs Act (FEJA\, 2016) and the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA\, 2021)\, the state is now advancing three new legislative pillars: the Comprehensive Renewable Generation Act (CRGA)\, the Clean Energy Transition Act (CETA)\, and the Clean and Healthy Buildings Act (CHBA)\, focusing on power\, transportation\, and buildings.\nThis program will provide an overview of these transformative policies\, exploring how they shape our communities and pave the way for a greener future. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the impact of past legislation\, such as FEJA and CEJA\, as well as the promises of upcoming bills. Learn actionable ways to support these initiatives and advocate for meaningful change in your community. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference!\nOur featured speaker\, William “Bill” Koehl\, is a seasoned expert in environmental policy and advocacy. With extensive knowledge and experience\, Bill excels at breaking down complex legislative efforts to make them accessible and actionable. As an Issues Specialist for LWVIL\, he has dedicated the past several years to collaborating with communities across the state to advance impactful climate legislation. \nRegister Now!
