Celebrate With Us At Green Drinks! |

Register today for the virtual launch of Green Umbrella's Regional Climate Collaborative, a network that will support regional governments, organizations, and their communities to design and implement equitable climate solutions across Greater Cincinnati. This free event is open to governments, community-based organizations, businesses, and community members across our 10-county region. As this effort is focused on policies and public-sector action, we specifically encourage local and regional government officials to join and learn more about this new and exciting initiative. Learn more about Regional Climate Collaboratives & our Climate Policy work in the meantime.
