Global warming advisory committee
PennEnvironment’s extensive global warming research and policy expertise was acknowledged this summer with the organization’s appointment to a statewide global warming advisory committee. The advisory committee was created by the Legislature and Gov. Rendell to outline the threats that global warming poses to Pennsylvania and propose policy solutions to help reduce the state’s global warming pollution levels.
PennEnvironment was one of just 18 stakeholders appointed to the advisory committee from the business, environmental and academic communities and the general public. PennEnvironment’s Nathan Willcox will be working to ensure that the committee takes concrete steps to implement policies that will reduce Pennsylvania’s global warming pollution levels as quickly as possible.
