This global initiative highlights the U.S. commitment to addressing the climate crisis by bringing participants from around the world to share best practices on how to tackle the global climate crisis. Participants will explore U.S. government programs, non-government strategies, and private-sector investments, programs, and initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, halt and reverse deforestation, pivot to clean energy, and support human and natural populations vulnerable to extreme weather disruptions and longer-term physical changes.
Through meetings, site visits, and other activities participants will observe innovations in energy and transportation systems, discuss strategies for better land and ocean stewardship, explore models for risk management and disaster resilient infrastructure, and assess the role of government actions and the private sector to encourage sustainable livelihoods. Participants also will discuss priority areas for international cooperation and practical actions to raise awareness of climate change challenges and promote public engagement in environmental conservation.
