Climate Group invites our member companies, governments and broader North American networks to join us virtually for the first digital day of the US Climate Action Summit to accelerate US climate action at all levels.
For years, states, cities, businesses, and the public have driven American climate action. Now, with a renewed federal climate agenda, this is our chance to limit warming to 1.5°C and rebuild the clean economy in this decade.
Building on our successful collaboration with President Biden's Climate Leaders Summit in 2021, we invite our networks of governments, businesses and civil society groups to join us virtually across the continent and the world to accelerate climate action for a cleaner future for all.
Our Digital 2022 program will feature two 60-minute plenary sessions and a series of closed-door breakout sessions designed to promote shared learning and build connections between our initiatives. The goal is to advance state climate strategies and business ambition by fostering cross-sector partnerships, increased ambition, and innovative solutions that leverage federal climate funding.
