Society of Environmental Journalists. Webinar Reminder - THURSDAY - Covering Climate, COVID-19, and the Economy: Is a Green Recovery Possible?

As COVID-19 continues to consume our daily lives and economies, governments and leaders are calling for a “green recovery.” The vision is bold, but will it work? With economies opening up and emissions once again rising, we face decisions about infrastructure, industry, and regulation that will have enduring impacts on our climate and our health. What do journalists need to know to cover these decisions and help the public understand the options and tradeoffs? Join us this Thursday, July 16 from 1-2 PM ET, for an #SEJ2020 webinar for journalists seeking a report on the connections between climate, COVID-19, and the economy, and the potential for a green recovery. All journalists welcome. This webinar will be recorded and available on our website a day or two after the event. Speakers:  ·     Anne L. Kelly, Vice President of Government Relations, Ceres ·     Jonathan Pershing, Program Director, Environment, Hewlett Foundation, and former Special Envoy for Climate Change, U.S. Department of State  ·     Justin Worland, Correspondent, Energy & Environment, TIME Magazine Moderator:  ·     Nick Sobczyk, Reporter, E&E News
