The Great Plains Institute believes a successful climate strategy must galvanize the center of the country, a heartland of industry, agriculture, innovation, and jobs. Even given the challenges of COVID-19, we see a new window of opportunity for a “center-out” strategy that brings together the Midwest and Gulf Coast states to take meaningful action toward a zero-carbon economy in the US.
Join us on October 28th as we share highlights of our work at the forefront of America’s transition to a zero-carbon economy.
