April 14th, 12 – 1 PM ET

As part of our ongoing series of carbon tax webinars, we turn next to the laboratories of democracy — the states. While the federal government continues to dither, state legislatures from coast to coast are looking to take more aggressive actions to address climate change. And in a few cases, that means carbon taxes.

In our next webinar, we’ll sit down with panelists who are working to pass carbon taxes in the states. We’ll explain why businesses like yours should care, and how you can get involved.

We’ll be joined by:

Jeff Mauk, Executive Director, National Caucus of Environmental Legislators
Dan Barlow, Public Policy Manager, VT Businesses for Social Responsibility
Michael Green, Executive Director, Climate Action Business Association
Ross Macfarlane, Senior Advisor, Business Partnerships, Climate Solutions
Richard Eidlin, Vice President, American Sustainable Business Council


Some of the questions we’ll be answering:

  • What impact will this have on energy prices or prices of goods?
  • What impact will this have on companies’ ability to compete with foreign or out-of-state businesses?
  • What impact will a carbon tax have on existing climate strategies like the Clean Power Plan, or existing cap-and-trade systems like RGGI or AB 32?
  • What will a carbon tax mean to states that rely heavily on coal?
  • Where should the money from a carbon tax go?
