Friend,
This is huge: Just months after passing historic climate legislation, Democrats across the country have defied historic trends and achieved one of the best midterms for the sitting president's party in recent memory. And after Thursday's post-election deep dive with Dr. Leah Stokes, Donnel Baird, and Bill McKibben (who dialed in from COP27 in Egypt!), we're more fired up than ever about what's coming next for climate action.
Miss the event? No worries—click here to catch up with a recording.
Our panel of climate champions shared exciting insights about global climate action, on-the-ground clean energy efforts, and policy priorities—check it out!
"There's a certain bounce in everyone's step [at COP27] because, in large measure, of the outcome of the midterms on Tuesday...
I just happened across an old friend who leads the climate efforts of a big country—he said [the Inflation Reduction Act] really goosed everybody in our Parliament to be pushing harder to do our part."
—Bill McKibben
"Now is the time for the doers, for the implementers, for the folks who are really ready to roll up their sleeves and dig into the details."
—Donnel Baird
"The delay cannot continue—we have to see the EPA in particular act with strong executive action."
—Dr. Leah Stokes
With hundreds of billions of dollars from the Inflation Reduction Act heading out the door, it's clear: Now is the time to focus on state-level climate leadership, as well as aggressive executive climate action from President Biden. Catch up on the event now, and get ready to make major strides toward our clean energy future together.
Onward,
Team Evergreen
