In commemoration of Native American Heritage Month, House Natural

Cultural Preservation” on Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2023, at 10:00 a.m.
Eastern.
Historic and cultural preservation is a central part of telling
America’s story; the places we choose to protect reflect the country’s
values. For generations, however, historically underserved communities,
including tribal communities, have been left out of historic
preservation efforts. In addition, climate change poses new,
ever-increasing threats to our historic and cultural resources. Moving
forward, we must ensure that preservation efforts are fully resourced to
adequately protect the diverse historic and cultural legacy of all
Americans.
Expert panelists at the roundtable will discuss these issues and how
Congress can better support and improve historic and cultural
preservation.

Join
us
for a discussion about the future of fossil fuels in a net-zero United
States.
About this Event
As the United States decarbonizes its economy and strives for net-zero
greenhouse gas emissions, production and consumption of fossil fuels
will need to decline substantially. Reducing fossil fuel usage will
bring significant benefits, like lower emissions and better ambient air
quality, but poses challenges for communities that are economically
dependent on extraction and production. Marcius Extavour (TIME
CO2) will moderate a conversation with Julia
Haggerty (Montana State University) and Daniel Raimi (Resources for the
Future) about the future of fossil fuels and how to address the
technical and societal challenges associated with their changing role.
The conversation will include discussion of environmental remediation,
maintaining the safety and reliability of existing fossil fuel
infrastructure, and socioeconomic impacts in fossil fuel dependent
communities.
Participants:
Marcius Extavour, Time CO2
Julia Haggerty, Montana State University
Daniel Raimi, Resources for the Future
The webinar will be webcast on the Climate Conversations: Fossil
Fuels
webpage on Thursday, November 16 from 3:00-4:15 pm ET. Closed captioning
will be provided. The conversation will include questions from the
audience and will be recorded and available to view on the page after
the event.
