Kigali Amendment sees bipartisan support, is ratified
Last week, the Kigali Amendment
[link removed]
was ratified by Congress, receiving bipartisan support. This amendment
aims for the phasing down of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which will
positively impact the ozone layer and in turn, global warming.
The amendment was ratified with a final vote of 69 in favor, 27 against,
with 21 Republicans voting in favor.
This is just the latest example of a major bipartisan climate vote in
the 117th Congress. CCL's Senior Director of Programs brings up the
point
[link removed]
that CCL wants "to make climate a bridge issue and not a wedge issue,
and it's clear that we are succeeding in doing that. Bipartisanship on
climate is now real."
While we've made lots of progress, there's still work to do. The
remainder of this Briefing will contain plenty of tools for you to make
climate an election issue during the midterms. If your senator voted to
ratify the Kigali Amendment, you can use our easy online action tool to
thank them below.
THANK MY SENATOR

CCL's Inclusion Conference is historic for CCL
Diversity and inclusion are part of our core values and allow us to work
alongside climate activists and advocates from all walks of life.
It only seems natural, then, that CCL held a successful Inclusion
Conference on Sept. 16 and 17. But the virtual conference (and setting
the stage for that conference) has been several years in the making.
"The idea for this conference came about three years ago from then-staff
member Princella Talley, who now sits on CCL's board. The idea has
always been to center the voices of the BIPOC community across CCL, and
give them an opportunity to talk about the issues that impact them,"
said Karina Ramirez, CCL Diversity and Inclusion Director.
The virtual conference consisted of a day-long session of listening to
speakers on Saturday, which came after a virtual reception on Friday
evening. The conference had over 125 attendees, spanning the spectrum of
identities and locations. Speakers addressed topics such as theology in
relation to climate change, barriers that BIPOC people face when
engaging in the climate movement, impactful communication in the face of
climate change, and harnessing the power of community through stillness.
To watch all of the speakers from the conference, visit our YouTube
playlist.
