LWVUS CLIMATE CHANGE TASK FORCE
The LWVUS Climate Change Task Force was created by the LWVUS board in 2006 to provide information and assistance to the national board and staff on issues pertaining to climate change and to develop materials for use by League members at the local, state, and national levels. The task force includes a national board liaison and eight local League members, all of whom have worked on climate change and/or energy issues for many years.
Working together by email and occasional conference calls, task force members have provided substantive information and advice regarding federal legislation and national climate change policy. A major (and ongoing) project has been the development of this toolkit. Task force members have also written background papers on a variety of climate change topics. These are included in the Resources section of this toolkit.
