Overview 

The risks to resiliency posed by extreme weather are prompting U.S. cities, states, and businesses to take action, even as the issue continues to polarize many leaders in the nation's capital.


However, recent bipartisan initiatives in Congress on clean energy, and a renewed focus on resilience and disaster preparedness could signify a shift in approach. Moving forward, will the debate in Congress over the state of the environment transition to a discussion of effective and appropriate solutions? How might these new initiatives influence a more constructive climate change conversation at the federal level?

 

From clean energy to land and ocean stewardship, how can the public and private sectors balance progress on the climate front with healthy economic growth?


The Hill in collaboration with the Bipartisan Policy Center will convene policymakers, business leaders and advocacy groups to examine the issues that are motivating greater climate collaboration and consider the substance and politics behind these initiatives.
