About this event

Climate One will be celebrating SF Climate Week with a series of programs featuring leading voices in climate, from local to global, with insightful conversations that acknowledge today’s challenging political reality while showcasing what’s doable and sparks joy in the climate community.

Wednesday's program:

After almost 40 years, Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat is up for grabs. As one of the most powerful House Speakers in U.S. history, Pelosi played a central role in advancing landmark environmental and climate laws, and bringing energy and climate policy to the forefront of the national agenda.

Right now, climate action is stalled out in Washington. But the upcoming midterms offer a chance for Congress to make critical changes.

From wildfires to flooding, climate change is already a part of life in the Bay. At the same time, housing and electricity costs – two critical climate levers – are top of mind for many voters. So how does each candidate plan to balance serious climate action with the everyday economic pressures facing Bay Area communities? Can they refocus Congress on climate solutions? And what, specifically, is their plan?

Join us for a live conversation with two of the top candidates running to represent California’s 11th Congressional District.

The panel conversation will be preceded by a short presentation from Nathaniel Stinnett about a recent survey from the Environmental Voter Project. While Americans care deeply about climate change, there’s a disconnect when it comes to considering political actions needed to bring systemic change. What will it take to shift the narrative from the personal to the political when it comes to climate change?

🎤 Speakers:

Saikat Chakrabarti, President, New Consensus

Scott Wiener, California State Senator
