Signs of hope for climate

CCL's annual conference is kicking off next weekend. We're looking
forward to seeing you, whether you're attending in person or following
along virtually from home!

As we look at what's going on in Congress right now, we see some hopeful
signs for climate action.

Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) and several of his congressional colleagues
have been holding talks to gauge bipartisan interest

in a climate deal. One policy that has been repeatedly mentioned in
these talks is a border carbon adjustment mechanism, which is a key
element of CCL's preferred carbon pricing legislation.

Key senators like Manchin and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer continue to
have positive discussions about budget reconciliation, keeping hope
alive that the Senate could reach a major agreement on climate policy in
this Congress. Conversations between Sen. Manchin and Majority Leader
Schumer mean that a climate win has gone from unlikely to possible this
year, according to Axios

.

This bipartisan work and climate-focused talks show that there is an
appetite for climate legislation in Congress. By lobbying this June,
we're striking while the iron is hot.

Your work as CCL volunteers has helped the climate policy conversation
advance as far as it has. Now is the time to give climate action another
push!

CCI featured in CPLC Leadership Report

Citizens' Climate International (CCI) was named in The World Bank's
annual report, titled "Carbon Pricing Leadership Report 2021-22." The
CPLC Leadership Report covers the latest developments in carbon
legislation, technology, tools, and advocacy.

The Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition is described as a "voluntary
initiative that brings together leaders from government, business, civil
society, and academia to enhance global understanding of carbon pricing
as a tool for accelerating and financing effective climate action."

In this report, CCI is flagged on page 35 for supporting climate income.

"Citizens' Climate International (CCI) believes countries — and indeed
the planet — need carbon pricing that covers all emissions, is
administratively coherent and transparent, and puts a steadily
intensifying cost on polluters, while enhancing the economic
opportunities of households and communities," the report explains. "This
is why CCI supports climate income — the return of revenues to
households while carbon fees steadily rise will help ensure that the
escalating price signal is felt most directly by polluting industries."

Joe Robertson, Executive Director of CCI, emphasizes the importance of
this recognition.

"This feature is the most visible billing The World Bank has ever given
to climate income or carbon fee and dividend," Joe said. "It will be
circulated to all CPLC member organizations and governments, and may
also be distributed in print at upcoming events like the
Innovate4Climate Summit, World Bank Annual meetings in October, or COP27
in November."
