Chris believes that climate change represents an existential threat to Delaware (America’s lowest-lying state), our country, and the entire planet – and that we have to act boldly and quickly to address it.
That’s why Chris is a leading voice in the effort to pass legislation to put a price on carbon emissions, one of the most effective and practical solutions we have available to address the dangerous warming of our planet.
Throughout his time in the Senate, Chris has been a tireless advocate for climate solutions, and he’s been a key voice in supporting new clean energy technologies to reduce and eventually replace our reliance on fossil fuels.
Chris made national headlines by becoming the first Democratic senator to convince Republicans to take climate change seriously and join the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus.
