The 50th anniversary of Earth Day will be marked by tens of thousands of events in every country in the world. Arizona Forward, Arizona State University, the City of Phoenix, Central Arizona Conservation Alliance, Arizona Sustainability Alliance and Green Living Magazine have come together for this milestone occasion to form EarthArizona 2020.
EarthArizona 2020 is an all-day business forum with sessions and workshops that address important topics pertaining to resiliency and economic prosperity tailored to Arizona-specific climate change risks such as extreme heat, drought and declining air quality. The event will assess the status of Arizona today, evaluate short-term strategies and determine action steps for the future.
Now is the time to take climate action. Arizona is poised to take a proactive approach to potential climate change risks. Stakeholders agree that major changes can take place at the local-level from businesses, municipalities, city government, nonprofits, educational institutions and others.
The next generation is relying on this generation to rise to the challenge to secure Arizona's economic future and quality of life.
