The Climate Change Team’s objective is to inform and
advocate on the urgency of climate change and on
actions to reduce
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
Our advocacy is focused on policy makers and those who can
influence governments.
To do so we will become familiar with key points in
related legislation – both proposed and in the pipeline.
Our Approach
- Meet with League leaders at all levels to maximize
our effectiveness
- Meet with local legislators to offer collaboration
- Meet with policy makers
- Structured approach for each meeting
- Present key actions to reduce GHG
- Relate actions to legislation
In March 2009, LWVBAE Climate Change Team chairs Linda
Swift and Jan Blumenkrantz went to Washington to lobby our representatives on
behalf of the Earth's Climate. You may read a PDF copy of
their report by clicking

Our regular meetings are the third Wednesday of each month
from 1:30 to 3:30 pm at the LWVBAE office. We welcome all who are
interested.

Change, click on this link.
Doing so will open an Acrobat PDF slideshow in a standalone window. When
finished, close that window to return to this one.
