PORT ANGELES — Olympic Climate Action will host a “Power Through Paris” workshop from noon to 2 p.m. today to plan for local action centered on global climate talks in Paris later this year.
The free workshop at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St. — which is open to the public — is being held in conjunction with 350.org and other civic organizations, said Ed Chadd of Port Angeles, a founding member of Olympic Climate Action.
“These talks and their aftermath will be crucial in determining global response to climate change, and citizens around the world are organizing to send a message to world leaders that it’s time to convert to clean energy,” Chadd said in a news release.
Climate action groups are organizing events across the world to precede, accompany and follow the global gathering of governments at the Paris climate change talks, which will begin Nov. 30, Chadd said.
Walk-ins will be welcome. Those who want to register for the workshop or who want more information can go to www.olyclimate.org.
