Dear Colleague,

Yesterday, the Council launched the Ted Halstead Climate Conversation Series. More than 400 people tuned into this inaugural event in honor of our late founder, which we co-hosted with New America. Thank you to all who participated. 

For those who missed it, the event featured a thoughtful discussion with Larry Summers, Christie Todd Whitman and Ernie Moniz on the U.S. path forward on climate. We also aired a heartwarming video about Ted’s legacy and contribution to the climate cause. You can watch it here. 

Please stay tuned for future installments in this series. We also wanted to flag some other events in the coming days featuring our Vice President of Policy Catrina Rorke.

The Climate Leadership Council Team

The Climate Leadership Council works with a diverse coalition of businesses, environmental, and opinion leaders to advance the four-part carbon dividends framework as the most cost-effective, equitable, and politically viable climate solution. Enacting the carbon dividends framework would unleash America’s full innovative capacity against climate change and cut emissions in half by 2035 on its own.
