Join us at the Transatlantic Climate Bridge Annual Conference!
July 7th, 2022 11:00 AM
This panel discussion will focus on the current status of US climate policy and regulation at the Federal level, how midterm elections will affect climate policy going forward, and opportunities and trends in state-level climate policy. The panel will discuss how President Biden has tried to balance energy security priorities amid high prices for natural gas and gasoline and his administration’s push to accelerate the United States to a low-carbon economy. Speakers will dive into the challenges the Biden administration has faced in this area, what the United States can reasonably expect with regards to climate action after the mid-term elections, and what states have done to reduce emissions as legislation has been stalled at the federal level. This conversation will also provide an opportunity to look at what opportunities and risks the administration faces in international climate diplomacy as it becomes less clear whether the United States will meet its 2030 target.
Speakers:
- Matt Piotrowski – Sr. Director of Policy and Research, Climate Advisers
- Claire Healy – Director, E3G
- Michael Werz – Senior Fellow, Center for American Progress
- Dan Reifsnyder – Acting Head of Programs and Former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Environment at the Department of State, Climate Advisers
