CA Event: Climate Change Solutions

The G-8 recently endorsed cutting global emissions of greenhouse gases by 50 percent by 2050 and called for nations around the world to set midterm reduction targets. What role do U.S. states play in this process and what steps should they take?

New America Climate Policy Director Terry Tamminen and Special Advisor to Governor Schwarzenegger David Crane will give an overview of state and federal policies to date, while discussing the steps that California and other states can take to lead the world in a climate change solution in the post-Kyoto timeframe. They will also discuss how companies are responding to climate regulation and the opportunities provided by cleantech. Join us for an engaging discussion of climate policy and the opportunities it may provide for our economy.
