Will Alaska always be an oil state, or is there a future in which energy development isn’t the end-all-be-all of our economy? What would a transition to that future look like? A group of community organizations from around the state are convening for the Just Transition Summit to explore sustainable concepts, and how we can build a more equitable economy.
