Rhode Island’s Path to Net-Zero Emissions
Rhode Island’s Path to Net-Zero: Progress and Policy in Action
In 2021, Rhode Island passed the Act on Climate, requiring greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced 45% below 1990 levels by 2030, with a target of net-zero by 2050. While legally binding, these mandates require robust implementation. Join us to hear Amanda and Tina discuss the state’s current progress in emissions reduction and the key climate policies being pursued to ensure Rhode Island meets its climate commitments.
