One lawmaker said her state focused on talking about jobs to get bipartisan climate-action support. Presented by Deloitte.
, brought together state lawmakers from Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and North Carolina to discuss how they were tackling issues like carbon emissions, while engaging their communities.
"We need federal action to set standards and then allow individual states to take those basic standards and build upon them for their constituencies," state, a Colorado Democrat, said during the session."We need a baseline because without a baseline, we don't have the support of industry. We don't have a place to build from."
Federal action would also help avoid"patchwork regulation," something he said big businesses in industries such as oil and gas, which are responsible for emissions, didn't like. But Valdez acknowledged that passing climate-centric legislation may be easier in some states than others.
"States have to envision a sustainable future, ultimately having the courage to tackle the system's issues of building an equitable approach to decarbonizing our economy," he said. Carlyle's hope is that states will set a baseline, which will then be responsibly calibrated at the national level, he said.
