Protecting Health and Life: A Catholic Response to Proposed Clean Power Plan "Repeal and Replace"

The Trump Administration is proposing to “replace and repeal” the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan (CPP). Stakeholders have until January 16th to comment on the proposed repeal. Join us to learn more about what’s at stake with the repeal of the CPP and how to respond effectively.

In this one-hour webinar we will explore:

1. Why the Clean Power Plan’s emissions reductions are seen as our best path to achieve the target set in the Paris Agreement. 
2. Why the repeal of the Clean Power Plan risks damage to our air, our waters, and people’s health, particularly the poor and vulnerable. 
3. How do we respond to likely repeal and replacement? What can Catholics do to ensure that if EPA chooses to “repeal and replace”, the alternative meets or exceeds the CPP’s national carbon emission reduction goals?
