Would you like to learn about an effective bipartisan climate bill at the federal level? One that would more than meet the Paris Greenhouse Gas Reduction goals and the recommendations by the last IPCC report? Would you like to earn a scholarship to attend a conference about the bill and how to advocate for bipartisan climate policies and help make climate a bridge issue?
