SUMMARY:Climate Activism Ahead After A Decade of Jewish Climate Action
DESCRIPTION:Facing the second half of this crucial decade\, can we still meet climate goals? After a decade as a leader in community-based climate activism and a career in clean energy\, Fred Davis will share a forward-looking view. Change is constant\, as climate itself continues to demonstrate\, so can we humans still make transitions quickly enough? It’s almost 2025/5785\, and the question will soon be moot\, one way or the other. With so much going on\, which way to look? Whatever your climate concern\, whatever activist community\, we hope you will appreciate this well-informed yet frank assessment\, informed both by faith and first principles.\n\n\nAbout Fred Davis: From the 1970s Energy Crisis to today’s Climate Emergency\, both as a professional and an advocate\, Fred has been a leader in clean energy. In the past decade\, he has been at the forefront of communities transitioning toward a low-carbon future\, decarbonizing with heatpumps\, solar\, and electric vehicles. \nFred ran his business wholesaling energy-efficient lighting products\, and was a leader in that field. He helped devise the first national standards for lamp efficiency and chaired the first national conference on energy-efficient lighting. He helped introduce the world to compact fluorescent light bulbs\, to electronic ballasts\, and to efficient LED products.\n\nIn both municipal and faith-based communities\, Fred has been active as an organizer driving community decarbonization. As member\, then Chair 2019-22\, of Medfield Energy Committee\, he helped to effect solar and efficiency projects\, implement a climate action plan\, and promote the potential for net-zero in the massive redevelopment of a historic state hospital campus. \nAs the top energy expert at Jewish Climate Action Network\, and President since 2022\, he’s been helping to lead over 120 synagogues and their congregants toward decarbonization. Fred devised curriculum ideally suited for volunteer green teams\, and mounted impactful programs such as Solar for Synagogues\, and Accelerating Heatpumps. \nFred also currently serves on the Board of MCAN (Massachusetts Climate Action Network)\, and the Program Committee of NESEA’s Building Energy Conference. These days\, Fred is most interested in training local climate leaders in the singularly impactful peer-to-peer program\, Decarbonizers of [your community].
