EPA sponsors and participates in various events to help stakeholders understand and use the best management practices of green remediation. Upcoming events include:

Conferences

April 10-12, 2024. Design and Construction Issues at Hazardous Waste Sites (East). Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Society of American Military Engineers organizes this annual conference to share information about applications of engineering and science associated with cleaning up hazardous waste sites. The 2024 topics include consideration of property reuse at Superfund sites, decarbonization through performance-based remedial design, and quantification of environmental footprint reductions during remedial design and remedial action phases of site cleanup projects.

May 20-23, 2024. Solar 2024: Connecting Technology & Policy. Washington, D.C. The American Solar Energy Society organizes annual conferences to provide a venue for discussing emerging trends, technology and opportunities to shape the new energy economy. In 2024 the conference will elevate public, institutional, and governmental awareness of the critical role solar energy is playing in the global energy landscape. The conference will focus on research models, examples, and tools for negotiating the challenges to advancing renewables by following justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) principles.

June 2-6, 2024. Chlorinated Conference. This 4-day event presented by Battelle provides a forum for the environmental remediation industry, with a focus on innovations and technologies to address chlorinated and recalcitrant compounds in the environment. Presentation topics are anticipated to include case studies on green and sustainable remediation (GSR) best practices and nature-based remediation; GSR metrics and assessment tools; climate resilience; high-resolution site characterization, and remote sensing and unmanned systems for site monitoring and assessments.

August 12-15, 2024. Tribal Lands & Environmental Forum. Eugene, Oregon. This annual forum is organized by the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professions to provide a venue for exchanging information about environmental issues on tribal lands. Recent forum gatherings have addressed topics such as using traditional ecological knowledge to address Superfund sites, developing renewable energy, and planning climate adaptation.

December 9-12, 2024. ACES Conference. Austin, Texas. The 2024 ACES Conference provides an open forum to share experiences, methods, and tools for assessing and incorporating ecosystem services into public and private decisions. The conference goal is to link state-of-the-art science, practice, and decision making by bringing together the ecosystem services community and decision makers from around the United States and the globe. ACES will engage leaders in government, non-governmental organizations, academia, Native American tribes, and the private sector to advance the use of ecosystem services science and practice in resource management and other societal decisions.

Training

April 10, 2024. Wildfire Effects and Recovery in Urban Ecosystems. This 1.25-hour session is one in a series of U.S. Forest Service "urban forest connections" webinars that provide a stage for experts to share the latest science, practice, and policy on urban and community forestry. Topics include issues affecting the health of people and the health of the trees and forests that communities depend on to moderate local climate extremes and provide food, shelter, water and wildlife habitat.
