CCL wins 2020 Keeling Curve Prize
The 2020 Keeling Curve Prize, named for Charles Keeling, the scientist
who started charting the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in
1958, was awarded to Citizens' Climate and nine other organizations
Monday evening.
"We are thrilled to see our efforts honored in this way," Citizens'
Climate Executive Director Mark Reynolds said. "Our staff and volunteers
are working hard every day to make climate change a bridge between our
two major political parties. Ultimately, we intend to support passage of
the major, lasting, bipartisan policies required to reduce emissions and
preserve a livable world. The prize money will help bring that vision to
reality."
CCL was one of two organizations awarded the $25,000 prize in the
category of Social & Cultural Pathways. The prize is administered by the
Global Warming Mitigation Project, which conducts a worldwide search for
accomplished, scalable solutions with significant potential to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions or increase carbon uptake.

Border carbon adjustment in Europe: The European Union recently approved
a stimulus package that will include a border carbon adjustment to be
implemented in 2023. The border adjustment, which is also a key
provision in the Energy Innovation Act, assesses a tax on goods from
nations that don't have an equivalent carbon price. The adoption of the
border carbon adjustment is a victory for CCL volunteers in Europe
who've held 50 meetings with members of the European Parliament
advocating for the policy. Read more
