Accepting Nominations for Clean Air Excellence Awards
Apr 11 all-day
online

The Asheville-Buncombe Air Quality Agency (AB Air Quality) is now accepting nominations for our twentieth annual air quality awards program. The goal of the Clean Air Excellence Awards is to recognize businesses and organizations that have truly gone above and beyond regulatory requirements to improve air quality for the residents of our area. Past years’ award recipients have included Dynamite Roasting Company, Eaton Corporation, and Western North Carolina Veterans Affairs Health Care System; each initiated voluntary efforts that improved air quality in the Asheville-Buncombe County Area.

Award guidelines explain the criteria for the awards and different categories of awards apply to different types of permitted facilities, organizations, and individuals that would like to nominate themselves or another entity for consideration.

To submit a nomination for a Clean Air Excellence Award, please download the application form online and include a brief summary describing what was done to improve air quality for Buncombe County.  Examples of voluntary pollution prevention measures include:  significant energy efficiency upgrades, switching to more environmentally friendly and lower-emitting solvents and cleaners, installing renewable energy systems, and upgrading fleet vehicles to more fuel-efficient or lower-emitting models. We ask that nominations be submitted to our Agency by April 12, 2024. We encourage you to submit any and all efforts your company (or another company or organization) has undertaken to reduce emissions. Agency staff are available to assist with emissions-related questions.

More information and the application form are available at abairquality.org. Please contact Ashley Featherstone at 828-250-6777 or [email protected] with questions.

Future-proof Your Organization: Strategies to Thrive in a Climate-impacted World
Apr 12 @ 9:00 am – 12:30 pm
The Collider

The Collider presents a one and a half-day workshop designed to equip business leaders and managers with the knowledge and tools to navigate the rapidly-developing discipline of climate adaptation.

This workshop offers a unique opportunity for leaders, executives, and professionals to engage with leading climate and industry experts to:

  • Understand emerging environmental impacts, changing legislation, and reporting and disclosure requirements
  • Develop and integrate critical climate transition strategies into business models
  • Engage with employees and stakeholder to build and sustain organizational resilience

Overview:

Businesses across sectors face an array of challenges that necessitate a proactive approach to climate adaptation. From the retail industry to manufacturing, healthcare, and beyond, the impacts of climate change pose multifaceted threats that demand immediate attention and strategies for building near and long term resilience. With less unpredictable and extreme weather events becoming more frequent, business leaders need information, tools, and tactics to address disruptions to existing supply chains, infrastructure, and daily operations.

These challenges underscore the relevance and urgency of climate adaptation for businesses of all sizes, across sectors, and at every level of the value chain.  The ability to anticipate, plan for, and adapt to these challenges is not only a matter of survival but also a strategic imperative. Forward-thinking businesses recognize that resilience in the face of climate change is a key driver of long-term success. Through collaborative efforts, innovative solutions, and a commitment to sustainability, businesses can not only weather the storm of climate challenges but also emerge as leaders in a rapidly changing world.

Participants of this two-day, immersive workshop can expect:
Intensive Interaction, Tailored Learning, and Directed and Relevant Crafted Content.

Agenda Overview:

  • Day 1: Understanding Climate Adaptation (9:00a to 5:00p)
  • Day 2: Implementing Adaptation (9:00a to 12:30p)

About The Facilitator:

Patrick Marchman, AiCP, SCR, is a leader in environmental policy, hazard mitigation and disaster risk reduction, and climate.  An American Planning Association-certified planner and Global Association of Risk Professional, Patrick has worked with companies in a range of sectors including health care, energy, manufacturing, and transportation, among others, as well as for public sector agencies and non-profits at all levels. He has also been deeply involved in developing standards of practice for climate adaptation and emerging topics such as managed retreat and the role of AI in climate risk, and believes that the time for business to take adaptation seriously is now.

Patrick’s 20+ year career includes presenting at numerous conferences and appearing in print and podcast media. He also mentors and coaches the next generation of climate leaders worldwide.

Her motto is “Someday I will not be able to do this. Today is not that day.”

She was the only girl on an all-boys soccer team, ran track in high school, and was a basketball cheerleader and member of the drill team/dance corps in high school and college.
