What’s the State House Doing About Climate Change? 

Massachusetts has a mandate to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2050. To achieve these goals, the State Legislature must now pass legislation on multiple fronts to make this goal a reality. Join MetroWest Climate Solutions on May 30 at 7 p.m. for an update on this topic. &nbsp; Many bills that would support efforts to decarbonize and enhance resilience are making their way through the State Legislature. Legislators hope to pass a major climate and energy bill, which would address the electrification of many carbon-intensive sectors such as transportation, support the use of renewable energy, update and expand the grid, reduce the use of single-use plastics, and expand the bottle bill, among other initiatives. &nbsp; <a href="https://www.environmentalleague.org/staff/casey-bowers/" target="_blank">Casey Bowers</a>, Action Fund Executive Director for the Environmental League of Mass., is responsible for creating and executing the strategy to ensure the policy priorities we need pass the legislature. She will discuss some of the most significant bills before the Legislature, their potential impact, and why you should support them. &nbsp; The Legislative Session ends on July 31. This is the perfect timeframe to reach out to your elected representatives to encourage their support for critical climate bills. &nbsp; To register for this free webinar, visit metrowestclimatesolutions.org. &nbsp; Casey Bowers joined ELM in 2018. For nearly four years she served as the Assistant Vice President for Government Relations, developing and achieving ELM’s policy goals across state, federal, and local government. In January 2022, she assumed the role of Action Fund Executive Director. She previously served as the American Lung Association of the Northeast’s Massachusetts Director of Public Policy, where her portfolio included work on renewable energy, lung diseases, and air quality. Casey earned a Bachelor’s Degree in economics and history from the College of the Holy Cross.
