History shows that Americans have made sweeping changes and set breath-taking goals in the past in order to address national and global challenges. This talk leads us through the crucible of the climate crisis with a clear-eyed conversation about the scope of the emergency, and a bold vision of achievable solutions for a #GreenNewDeal. The speaker urges all of us to make the 2020s the decade we invest in a moonshot for millions of quality jobs to cool our planet.
