3rd CPR Initiative Hearing on Climate Action

The science is clear. Comprehensive, concrete action to phase out climate pollution is required. Devastating climate impacts are upon us already, and far worse is yet to come.

On June 16, 2022, Climate Protection & Restoration Initiative (CPR Initiative), along with five renowned climate experts, petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to phase out greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution and compel major climate polluters to clean up their mess.

Over a thousand individuals and more than a hundred organizations endorsed the effort.

Despite the Petition’s strong legal foundation and its summary of the overwhelming evidence, EPA declined to act, asserting it was already doing enough under other law.

But further delay in real climate action is not tenable, especially for coastal communities — including Santa Barbara, California.

Accordingly, CPR Initiative is conducting a series of public hearings on the fundamental question:

What More Should the United States Do on Climate?

The hearing will be held in partnership with a key ally, the Community Environmental Council (CEC) of Santa Barbara.

Please register below to attend or provide testimony.

Once again, several international climate experts will testify. In addition, as before, we will invite EPA to attend. As well, we will make the full record, including both expert and other public testimony, available to the Agency. That way, when EPA reconsiders its present position, it can hit the ground running.

CPR Initiative welcomes your considered thoughts on the climate crisis, its current and likely impacts to California, and what additional federal action is required to confront the climate crisis.

See you soon, in person at the Community Environmental Council’s Environmental Hub in downtown Santa Barbara, or else on-line! And again, please register immediately below.
