We welcome you to apply for participation in the 2020 Remembering Forward-Just Transition Summit. The Summit will be held January 8-10, 2020 at the Wedgewood Resort in Fairbanks, Alaska.

The Alaska Just Transition Summit hopes to inspire collaborations and to build collective strategizes that both address challenges and build pathways out of a declining oil economy. Alaska is lagging behind in the global movement to re-orient economies away from declining extractive oil, gas, and mining development. We must engage more communities and elected leaders in the discussion and action of shifting toward a more equitable and ecologically rooted economy and culture.  

This summit will convene individuals, leadership, and organizational stakeholders who share a vision for a more just and equitable future. We invite leadership from Tribal, local, and state governments, from labor unions, educational institutions, community groups, faith groups, and healthcare institutions; we invite young leaders, artists, financial investors, small business owners, and other engaged community leaders who are ready to collaborate and work toward a just and equitable transition for all Alaskans. If you would like to present at workshops or displays we welcome proposals from across Alaska. You can apply here: http://www.justtransitionak.org/submit-proposal.

Please submit your application by Monday, November 18th, 2019. You will be notified by email by Friday, November 22nd to let you know if you have been selected to attend the Summit. Thank you!
