We are at an inflection point. On Thursday, May 20th 12pm-1:00pm PT, we had an event with these incredible thought leaders for a special conversation about this unique moment in time and how we can make unprecedented progress on equitable climate solutions at scale. To achieve climate stability and resilience, we must address injustice and inequity in the communities most impacted and beyond. Climate impacts connect to so many aspects of our lives. President Biden’s push at the national level is a bold and strong foundation for accelerating solutions at scale in an equitable way. However, none of this potential progress is a done deal. This next year, we need to lean in to support solutions like 100% clean electricity for our grid, cleaner fuels and electrification to power our transportation, and clean and energy smart buildings where we work and live.

A virtual fundraising event for Climate Solutions featuring:
Jennifer M. Granholm is Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy. Secretary Granholm leads DOE in helping America achieve President Biden’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 by advancing cutting-edge clean energy technologies, creating millions of good-paying union clean energy jobs, and building an equitable clean energy future.
Maia D. Bellon is a Partner at Cascadia Law Group and former director of the Washington State Department of Ecology where she led efforts to achieve carbon emission reductions and integrate smart climate policy into land, air and water regulations.
Anne L. Kelly is Vice President of Government Relations at Ceres, a non-profit advocacy organization that mobilizes investor and business leadership to build a more sustainable global economy. She also leads Ceres Policy Network, Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy (BICEP).
This event will be part of a multi-week giving campaign to help support our upcoming work in 2021. The event is free, but you can help support our work by donating or helping to cover our event production costs with a $100 ticket registration.
For close to 25 years, Climate Solutions has been working to accelerate the solutions to the climate crisis, and with your help and support, we can keep going.
