Vermont Natural Resources Council Today at noon, join the second-to-last webinar in VECAN’s winter series to get an update on what’s happening with the implementation of Vermont’s historic Climate Superfund Act and the important work underway to develop a Resilience Implementation Strategy, a joint initiative of the Governor and the Vermont Treasurer, led through a partnership between the Treasurer’s Office and the Climate Action Office.
The legislature passed the Climate Superfund Act in 2024 in response to a series of devastating floods that decimated many Vermont communities. The law aims to hold some of the world’s largest fossil fuel companies responsible for their fair share of the escalating costs of climate-intensified disasters so that Vermonters and Vermont communities aren’t stuck paying the full bill.
We're excited to announce that we're currently accepting nominations for the 2025 Arthur Gibb Award for Sustainable Community Leadership!
This award honors Arthur Gibb, the former legislator who dedicated much of his life to public service to ensure that Vermont is a better place for future generations. We seek to honor an individual whose leadership has brought about positive and lasting change in the way that individual’s community integrates growth and conservation.
If you know a sustainability community leader in Vermont who you want to recognize, we encourage you to submit a nomination by June 13, 2025.
All nominees will be considered for the award based on qualities exemplified by Arthur Gibb, including their commitment to public service, leadership, vision, humility, creativity, balance and integrity.
