You are invited to the 7th annual Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) Third Coast Regional Conference!
CCL builds the political will for our elected representatives to act on climate change. With the reintroduction into Congress of The Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act, an effective bipartisan climate bill, that political will is more important than ever!
Our Regional Conference is an opportunity for newcomers and experienced CCL members to stand united – to learn, practice skills, inspire each other, and strategize for building the political will to move our country toward fair and economically sound climate solutions.
The Third Coast Region – Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas – is large and diverse, but we are united in our concerns. Climate impacts are already manifesting along our coast, on our ranches and farms, and in our cities. Rising temperatures, hurricanes and massive rain events, drought and prolonged wildfire seasons are hurting our communities, agriculture, and industries. Both the harm of inaction and the potential for this region to lead in a low-emission economy have never been greater.
Please join us in Houston on February 8 to help forge a climate solution that will benefit all Third Coast residents.
Tickets includes the conference, lunch and coffee breaks.

THE TEN ACROSS (10X) INITIATIVE FRAMES THE US INTERSTATE 10 CORRIDOR AS THE MOST COMPELLING WINDOW ON THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY, ONE WHICH PRESENTS THE CHALLENGES OF THE 21ST CENTURY IN THE HIGHEST RELIEF.
10X Water Summits convene thought leaders to share perspectives from their cities and states, revealing parallels that rise above differing place and politics and engaging the range of water conditions exemplified in this region as a leading indicator of our capacity to address issues of great scale and complexity.
Questions of equality, governance, land use, energy and risk emerge from the subject of water. Pairing the lived experiences of the 10X transect with the wealth of available scientific information results in a depth of knowledge which conveys an acute responsibility to take action.
Hosted in the dynamic 10X city of Houston, the 3rd Annual 10X Water Summit will be a premier convening of decision makers, subject experts and entrepreneurial thinkers, with special emphasis on communication to a public faced with an unprecedented flow of fact, fiction and uncertainty.
WE INVITE YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN A DYNAMIC EXCHANGE OF IDEAS ABOUT WATER AND OUR FUTURE.
