LEAD on CLIMATE 2020 will virtually bring together businesses large and small, from sectors across the US economy, to call on Congress to pass a resilient stimulus plan while working toward long term climate solutions—including a price on carbon.

On May 13, businesses will make the case for a climate-smart recovery.

As Congress considers various paths to recovery from the health and economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, it should strive to build back better, by planning for a more resilient economy.

Businesses will advocate for:

• Investment in resilient infrastructure
• Immediate investment in the country’s transition to a net-zero emissions economy
• Longer-term solutions, including a price on carbon
