New Dem Climate Change & Clean Energy Task Force Chair Emphasizes Commitment to Climate Goals
Today, upon returning from the COP 29 summit in Azerbaijan over the weekend, New Democrat Coalition Climate Change and Clean Energy Task Force Chair Scott Peters (CA-50) issued a statement on the New Dems’ commitment to meeting our climate goals and to working to prevent the next Administration from reversing the progress we’ve made.
“As Congress prepares for a new administration, we cannot lose sight of one of the top threats facing our nation and our planet: climate change. The U.S. must use our seat at the table as one of the most powerful countries in the world – including at the ongoing COP29 in Azerbaijan – to show that the United States remains steadfast in our commitment to our climate goals.
“The New Democrat Coalition Climate Change and Clean Energy Task Force will work tirelessly to protect the key investments we’ve made through the Inflation Reduction Act, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and other key pieces of legislation to transition to a clean energy economy.
“We know there is room for bipartisan collaboration. From permitting reform and clean energy innovation to lowering energy costs and strengthening American energy security, New Dems are ready to work across the aisle to ensure we build on the progress we’ve made – not undo it.”
