"Climate Solutions Now conference is a tremendous resource for people regionally and beyond to get in-depth information from experts across the U.S. The sessions deliver excellent value for the participants' investment of time and registration fee. CSN provides superb opportunities not only to learn from but also to network with key people who can help us work for a healthier climate."  --Don Maruska, author of "Solve Climate Change Now: Do What You Love for a Healthy Planet"

"A wonderful workshop at the intersection of climate research, teaching, and action." --Mook Bangalore, Postdoctoral Researcher at emLab, UC-Santa Barbara

"This conference was enlightening, encouraging, and versatile. I was able to listen in on several conversations that I had no knowledge of prior and felt completely comfortable. The speakers were approachable and explained their topics with grace. Hearing from a wide variety of scientists, community members, and other eager climate activists was truly amazing and I am so thankful for the organizers and speakers that made this possible." --Ashley Clark, Fellow/Partner with Sustainable
Marin Schools
