Lindsay Baxter, the PA Environmental Council’s Program Manager for Energy and Climate, recently outlines PEC’s work in helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

PEC's work in the energy and climate sector has become particularly relevant in 2015.

With the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency releasing the final rules for the Clean Power Climate Plan this summer, Pennsylvania is now responsible for crafting an implementation plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

As Pennsylvania also recently released its Climate Impact Assessment, there is no time like the present to combat climate change.

"I think PEC is uniquely situated to be a leader on this issue in Pennsylvania because of our long history of conservation through cooperation, and working with diverse parties to come up with innovative solutions to environmental challenges,” said Baxter.
