British Consul General hosts pre-COP26 Minnesota Climate Action event
Since the Biden-Harris administration entered office earlier this year, the United States has seen renewed vigor for climate action at the federal level.

Strong federal leadership on climate that prioritizes clean energy and energy-related economic development policies is encouraging to Fresh Energy, largely because it sets the tone for both local and international climate cooperation.
