IPCC praises carbon pricing
Last week, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released
the latest section of its Sixth Assessment Report summarizing the latest
scientific research on climate change impacts, adaptation, and
vulnerabilities. In this report, the IPCC makes several mentions of
carbon pricing and the positive impact that it would have on the
reduction of greenhouse gases.
CCL's Research Coordinator Dana Nuccitelli breaks down the IPCC report.
"As CCL volunteers are well aware, coupling dividends with carbon
pricing is an important measure to ensure that low- and middle-income
households do not bear the financial brunt of the policy. On this point,
the IPCC report also agrees with CCL."
The report also acknowledges that many other countries are already
implementing a carbon price and that a carbon price can spark innovation
for clean, new technologies.

Grassroots: Earth Day virtual film festival
CCL volunteer Elyce Klein of Berkley, California, has been working hard
preparing a virtual film festival for Earth Day. The Wild & Scenic Film
Festivals are organized by multiple environmental organizations, with
CCL presenting, and are to be held from Apr. 22-27 and feature the most
popular environmental films of this year.
"The theme of this year's festival is ‘A Current of Hope.' The flagship
festival featured many films about water issues, a few of which we
included. However, if you take a look at the films in our on-tour
program
[link removed]
, a wide variety of issues are addressed in the films," Elyce says.
Several CCL chapters have already signed up to host their own virtual
showing in partnership with the film festival.
