Washington, D.C. – Climate change is the greatest challenge facing our country and the world. The science tells us we must act and move to build a 100 percent clean future no later than 2050.
While President Donald Trump and his team are still denying the science and enacting an anti-climate agenda that is damaging our economy and the health of American families, states and cities are leading the way on climate action. Nine states, along with Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, have already enacted policies to move toward a 100 percent clean future by 2050 or earlier. To deal with this urgent crisis, it is critical that the federal government build on the success at the state level to move toward a 100 percent clean future.
Please join the Center for American Progress, Environmental Defense Fund, League of Conservation Voters, and Sierra Club for a discussion on how the United States can build a 100 percent clean future. Reps. Debbie Dingell (D-MI), Joe Neguse (D-CO), and Paul Tonko (D-NY) will join CAP Senior Vice President Christy Goldfuss to discuss pathways the federal government can take to build a 100 percent clean future. The second panel will feature advocates and state leaders focused on a discussion of progress and lessons learned at the state level.

A light lunch will be served at 12 p.m.
