Confronting the Climate Crisis: Western AGs Respond

The State Impact Center hosted Western AGs, including California AG Rob Bonta and Oregon AG Ellen Rosenblum, to discuss their work addressing the climate crisis, promoting environmental justice, and bringing the public health and economic benefits of those policies to their states. They spoke about the impact of climate change in the West and explored how the federal government can and should affirmatively support state-level climate policies and programs. The event took place in advance of the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow and also built on the Center’s report from the spring, Follow the Leaders: States Set Path to Accelerate U.S. Climate Progress.
