Event Details
The Climate Action Film Festival brings together activists, filmmakers, and communities to witness and celebrate stories of climate action. CAFF’s mission is to amplify voices and inspire further action in addressing the climate crisis, locally and beyond.
All ticket donations from CAFF 2021 will support our local climate action partners who we see as leaders in our fight for climate justice. New York Renews and 350 Vermont. Join us and support their important 2021 climate work.
Schedule:
Tuesday, March 2: [Short Films + Q&A] 7:00 – 8:30
Thursday, March 4: [“Beyond the Films” Q&A] 7:00 – 8:00
Friday, March 5: [Short Films + Q&A] 7:00 – 8:30

About the Films:
When selecting films for CAFF, we look for variety while remaining true to our mission: to amplify voices and inspire further action. Climate action can be so many things, from civil disobedience to estuary research to regenerative agriculture and more, and our selected films portray just a fraction of the climate action stories happening around the world every day.
About CAFF:
CAFF 2021 launches as a two-week fully-digital streaming event the first two weeks of March. In addition to the selected films, there will also be streaming panel discussions and breakout conversations with filmmakers, climate activists, and organizations committed to facing the climate crisis head-on. This digital platform will allow us to bring audiences even more inspiring stories, more group discussions, and more opportunities for direct climate action. And because viewers can experience all of this without leaving the safety of home, these stories and conversations can make an impact well beyond SunCommon’s local communities of Vermont and New York.
In February of 2020, the Climate Action Film Festival sold out five screenings across New York & Vermont, followed by a series of smaller screenings and group discussions, both in person and online. The inaugural CAFF inspired thousands of viewers and raised over $9,000 for local climate action groups.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to disrupt nearly every part of our lives, we are rethinking everything from how our schools and businesses work to how we find meaning day to day. During this time of reflection and transition, we have an opportunity to remake our world in the name of climate justice and sustainability. And with this newly widespread ability to meet and learn remotely, CAFF has an opportunity to connect even more individuals and communities around the world and propel a new, bigger wave of climate action.

Event Details
New Yorker Youth Climate Leaders invite you to phone bank on Wednesday-
We are joining NYC-DSA to make calls to elected officials to urge them to Tax the Rich on March 3rd at 6 PM. While the climate crisis continues to plague our society leaving destruction in it’s wake, the wealthiest have grown $87.7 billion richer during the pandemic. We must Tax the Rich now to fund essential services in NYS and fund climate justice!
Following our massive citywide week of action in December, we are continuing our campaign to tax the rich and fund our schools, hospitals, and transportation, #CancelRent, and build a New York that supports the working class majority.
Join NYC-DSA and DSA chapters across the state to make calls and send a clear message to Cuomo and his allies in Albany: it’s time to tax the rich by $50 billion!
Together we’ve made thousands of calls but we need to make thousands more to save our state—sign up and tell your friends!
Everyone is welcome at every shift. DSA chapters across New York are working together to target legislators and fight for this statewide legislation. We are calling multiple districts across the state to put pressure on our electeds—so sign up for all the shifts you can no matter where you are!
To learn more about the campaign, go to www.taxtherichnys.com.
To sign a petition demanding taxes on the rich and no cuts to social services, go to bit.ly/taxtherichpetitionny.

Want to know how financing can drive a clean energy future? Join us for the 13th Energy Efficiency Finance Forum (EEFF) — the premier conference for industry leaders like you — to explore cutting-edge initiatives and major opportunities to finance projects that save energy, reduce costs, and create jobs.
You will have a one-of-a-kind opportunity to network with leaders in finance, government, utilities, and energy service companies. In interactive sessions and dynamic plenaries, you will learn about successful projects and innovative models. You will discuss ways to overcome barriers, scale the industry, and deliver deep energy savings.
In a recent series of blog posts, ACEEE looked at financing’s vital role in cutting energy use and greenhouse gas emissions over the next 30 years. We hope you will be part of this continuing conversation.

For more than a decade, the Finance Forum has brought together a diverse mix of participants including clean-tech and energy efficiency investors; financiers; real estate professionals; community development finance institutions and other mission-driven lenders; utility staff; local, state, and federal officials; policymakers; NGOs; energy service company personnel; energy efficiency program planners, operators, and evaluators; and marketing experts.
