Climate & energy
We believe that climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today. Efforts to reverse its effects must be global in scale rather than limited to individual nations. We support renewable energy of all kinds, including nuclear, governments placing a price on carbon, public spending on green technology research, sharing of green technology with the rest of the world, and policies that promote decarbonizing our economy.
