Beyond the Backslide: Advancing Climate Progress Through State Leadership

​All eyes are on states to step up in the face of the biggest federal climate rollback in U.S. history. From investing in clean energy to cutting pollution, states have immense power to advance urgently needed solutions. So, what can states actually do to lead in this era? What levers can states pull to make an outsized impact? Where are states currently missing the ball?
