Please join the Institute of Politics in person as we welcome Gov. Jay Inslee of the State of Washington. When Gov. Inslee ran for president in 2020, he was known as the “climate change candidate” for his intense focus on environmental policy issues and his pleas for the world to take immediate action to combat the damage done by humans to our planet. The record temperatures and devastating fires during the summer of 2021 in the Pacific northwest states of the U.S. prompted Gov. Inslee to call this moment the “beginning of a permanent emergency” that requires the world to tackle climate change in earnest. As policymakers throughout the world descend on Glasgow, Scotland for the UN Climate Change Conference, Gov. Inslee will discuss what the State of Washington has done to attack climate pollution and what the U.S. and the world must urgently do now. Want to attend in person?
