Citizens' Climate heads to COP27 in Egypt
With the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP27, beginning this
weekend, Citizens' Climate is on our way to Egypt to create the
political will for a livable world! President Biden will be in
attendance along with many other heads of state.
Madeleine Para, executive director of Citizens' Climate Lobby, will
attend the conference with the Conservative Climate Foundation,
alongside the congressional delegation from the Conservative Climate
Caucus. Joe Robertson, executive director of Citizens' Climate
International, will also attend as our delegation works toward a
constructive flow of insights

that brings everyone to the table. One way that Citizens' Climate will
do this at COP27 is through the People's Pavilion
[link removed]'s_Pavilion
, a workspace for coordinators, volunteers and allies to provide online
access

to select events and discussions.
Our CCI delegation will consist of approximately 15 members. Madeleine
and Joe, as well as some CCLers, will meet with key allies and partners
to talk about high priority topics
[link removed]
, including civics, incentives, finance, food, and nature, and the
impact that climate change has had on these areas.

featured local and state officials, as well a U.S. Representative Lori
Trahan (D-MA-03), for a conversation about climate legislation in the
Bay State.
Participants discussed climate initiatives in Massachusetts, as well as
the impact of climate legislation, such as the Inflation Reduction Act,
the CHIPS Act, and the Science Act on the state. The televised event was

Enterprise
