What the Election Means for Climate Policy
November 7, 2024 |4:00PM |Bren Hall 1414
The election is over, but climate progress doesn’t have to be. How can we continue to push for equitable climate policies and defend current investments in clean energy? And without federal action, what are the state and local avenues for addressing the climate crisis? Join us for an election week discussion with Adrian Deveny and Dr. Leah Stokes on what the results of the 2024 election mean for the future of our planet and how we can keep moving forward.
