Our electric grid will soon be carbon free, and our transportation system is soon to follow. Our budget provides for hundreds of electric charging stations as our state transitions to an all-electric fleet. We are beginning our conversion to all-electric school buses and city buses, reducing air pollution in some of our most distressed communities, where there is a disproportionately higher rate of asthma. That’s what we mean by environmental justice.
Connecticut is advancing high-impact climate policies, actions, and regulations across the Alliance’s 10 key policy areas. These solutions — centered around equity, environmental justice, and a just economic transition — are being deployed at scale to safeguard public health, grow the U.S. economy, and secure a net-zero future.
This list includes both statutory and executive policies and actions that Connecticut has adopted or is in the process of adopting (as of October 2022).
