Report Launch of Forging Climate Solutions: How to Accelerate Action Across America

The American Academy of Arts & Sciences celebrated the launch of the new report from the Commission on Accelerating Climate Action, Forging Climate Solutions: How to Accelerate Action Across America. The report calls for a coordinated, cross-sector effort to combat climate change with five strategies and 21 recommendations rooted in justice, pragmatism, and accountability.

This launch event featured Commission cochairs - Mustafa Santiago Ali (National Wildlife Federation, and Revitalization Strategies), Christopher Field (Stanford), David G. Victor (University of California, San Diego, and the Brookings Institution), and Patricia Vincent-Collawn (PNM Resources) - in a conversation moderated by Laura Helmuth (Scientific American). The cochairs reflected on the work of the diverse group of climate experts and their whole-of-society plan to combat the climate crisis.
