This conference is hosted by Trust for Public Land and MSU’s PSEG Institute for Sustainability Studies and Center for Cooperative Media
 
Thought leaders across sectors will gather to discuss how a warming planet impacts air quality and human health, and what we can do to improve outcomes.  Speakers will also explore the role of journalism in raising awareness about air quality and climate, and how News organizations can combat climate change misinformation and guide public discourse. The event will take place at the 7th floor Conference Center within University Hall at Montclair State University. TPL and MSU have assembled an esteemed group of panelists who are listed on the attached document.  We are also adding John Upton from Climate Central to the media panel.

Our keynote speaker is Dr. Howard Frumkin, Senior Vice President & Director of the Land and People Lab at Trust for Public Land.

We are convening renowned academics, New Jersey policymakers, and award-winning journalists to engage in lively panel discussions, share facts, inform the audience and inspire collaborative action to address climate change.  The two panels are:
  • Wildfires and Climate Change: Risk Factors and Impact on Public HealthModerated by Dr. Amy Tuininga, Director of the PSEG Institute for Sustainability Studies
  • Air Quality and the Media: Framing Public DiscourseModerated by Chris Daggett, Board Chair of the New Jersey Civic Information Consortium and former regional administrator for the U.S. EPA
