Follow the Leaders: The State AG Role in Supporting U.S. Climate Progress

Please join the State Impact Center and state AGs on Wednesday, April 21 from 1:00pm - 2:00pm ET for a (virtual) conversation about the vital role of states and AGs in the U.S. response to the climate crisis.

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong, Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul will discuss their work defending their states' policies to cut greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the public health and economic benefits of those policies. The AGs will also explore how the federal government can and should affirmatively support state-level climate policies and programs.

The event is part of U.S. Climate Action Week 2021, and will take place in advance of the United States' announcement of its new Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement. The conversation will also build upon the Center's new report, Follow the Leaders: States Set Path to Accelerate U.S. Climate Progress.

Register here.
