Refinery Closures and a Just Transition

Community and Labor Solutions from the Contra Costa Refinery Transition Partnership (CCRTP)

Concerned about the two threatened refinery closures in California and what that will mean for the workers, their communities, gas prices, and the climate? Join members of our team and Climate Health Now for this vital, solutions-based discussion toward refinery closures and a just transition.

For context, visit our article on the pending Benicia Valero refinery closure and what that means to the workers, the community at large, and our health and well-being. Of course, with the governor and top Democratic legislators forging lucrative deals to spend millions of tax dollars to keep the refineries open, the conversation will have to go deep and wide.

This event will feature insights from key California leaders who will discuss the Contra Costa Refinery Transition Partnership (CCRTP). They will share valuable recommendations that provide essential lessons for navigating the challenges of energy transition today.
