CCI to host Interparliamentary Exchange on climate

With an eye toward speeding up the global transition away from fossil fuels, Citizens’ Climate International will host an Interparliamentary Exchange in Washington, D.C. — June 9 -12 — at which legislators from various countries will discuss multilateral cooperation in efforts to promote effective climate solutions that will rein in climate change.

WHAT: Interparliamentary Exchange of climate-interested lawmakers from around the world.

WHO: Lawmakers from Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Zambia are expected to attend.

WHEN: June 9-12

WHERE: Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. 2500 Calvert Street NW, Washington, District of Columbia 20008.

WHY: The policies and programs needed to fight climate change — carbon pricing, climate-smart agriculture, eliminating deforestation, clean energy support — must be enacted by the legislatures of nations throughout the world. It makes sense, therefore, for lawmakers from those countries to meet and discuss best practices and policies with the aim of international cooperation that can hasten the restoration of a stable climate.

The Interparliamentary Exchange is part of the Citizens’ Climate annual conference and lobby day to support the efforts of advocates working to enact climate solutions.
