A trio of climate policy experts is launching a new environmental group aimed at slashing greenhouse gas emissions and boosting clean energy development.
The nonprofit organization, Clean Tomorrow, is a nonpartisan group that’s focused on cutting emissions swiftly. The group — whose leaders include veterans of Capitol Hill, the Energy Department and the environmental advocacy world — views itself as “climate closers” focused on policy wins that aren’t subject to “the whims of partisan politics.”
The goal is to make progress “immediately,” said the group’s founder and CEO, Lindsey Baxter Griffith. “We’re excited to be an organization … that’s really just going to focus on the climate issue and specifically on the solutions around that.”
Griffith, the former executive director of Clean Air Task Force Action, previously worked on Capitol Hill for Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and at the Energy Department during the Obama and Trump administrations.
