CCE joined Students for Climate Action and the Citizens Climate Lobby to co-host Congressional Candidate Climate Change Chats
Find out how candidates plan to protect Long Island from climate change
Long Island is on the front lines on climate change. Our Congressional representatives from districts 1, 2, 3, and 4 will have a crucial role to play in ensuring protections for our coastal communities, local economy, and environment. We invited both major party candidates from each of these districts to have 15-minute discussions with us discussing their plans for fighting climate change. We asked each candidate their plans to mitigate the potential impacts facing Long Islanders, views on promoting renewable energy, climate policy, and support for local green jobs. If you missed the event live, be sure to check our climate chats with:
