upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21).
Leading up to COP 21, the Obama Administration has announced
an aggressive commitment on the part of the United States to
reduce greenhouse gases as well as a unique agreement on
greenhouse gas reductions with China. Tom will also discuss
the central role of U.S. states in moving toward a low
carbon future for the U.S., technological developments
necessary to advance a clean energy future, and trends in
U.S. environmental policy.
