At this Climate Week NYC event, U.S. Climate Alliance governors discussed how they are advancing the most ambitious climate agenda in U.S. history, in spite of a public health crisis, civil unrest and federal attacks on both climate policy and pandemic response.

These governors noted how they are rebuilding our nation’s economy and demonstrating that a climate action framework can aid our recovery efforts, giving us a robust and resilient foundation, that creates family-sustaining jobs and cleaner, more equitable and resilient growth. They also committed to accelerating climate action regardless of the November election outcomes.
