Government, business, investor and labor representatives joined a conversation with Ceres experts to identify key linkages between the COP26 deliberations and near term actions needed to achieve the agreed upon outcomes. Topics discussed include:
Securing U.S. business and investor support for essential climate change provisions for infrastructure and budget reconciliation bills that are a pivotal milestone to determine the trajectory of the talks;
Targeting media markets by highlighting the financial risk of inaction encourages companies to support the legislation despite incurring higher taxes; and
Aligning those critical climate goals with key policymakers in Congress to ensure these bills are successfully supported with all climate action measures intact.
