“InterAction welcomes the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act introduced by Sens. Boxer and Kerry today. InterAction’s members view climate change as an issue of primary importance. Its impacts strike at the very livelihoods of poor and vulnerable communities in the developing world, undermining the development achievements of our 180-plus members. Strong domestic energy legislation sends a signal to the international community that the U.S. is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and fostering a greener economy. That’s a positive message, and one the NGO community can endorse as we work to help create the conditions for a successful climate change agreement in Copenhagen. We applaud the leadership of the senators and look forward to working with them throughout the legislative process.”
— Samuel A. Worthington, President and CEO of InterAction
