ICYMI: States Keep Pushing Climate Superfund Laws

Hi friend,

Lawmakers in several states are continuing to pursue climate superfund policies that would require major fossil fuel producers to contribute toward climate-related costs. Vermont has already enacted a law, Minnesota lawmakers have introduced legislation, and lawmakers in Washington and Connecticut are preparing proposals. California, Illinois, and Massachusetts are also pursuing similar efforts.

The push is continuing despite two recent federal court rulings against New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act. Vermont’s law also faces legal challenges, while lawmakers elsewhere are considering how to design their proposals in light of the New York decisions.

Add your name to applaud the states continuing to pursue climate superfund policies aimed at having major fossil fuel producers contribute toward climate adaptation, infrastructure, and disaster-related costs!

Thank you for standing with us!

In solidarity,
