National Business Climate & Clean Energy Advocacy Day

A Call for Congressional Action

May 1-2, 2017 Washington, D.C., Capitol Hill
The non-partisan National Business Climate and Clean Energy Advocacy Day aims to bring hundreds
of business leaders from large and small companies to Washington, D.C. to deliver a strong message
to Congressional policymakers: climate change is a fundamental risk to the nations economic
success, human health and environmental security. And, Congress must take concrete steps to
reduce carbon pollution and support the transition towards a clean energy economy.

The event is supported by a cross-section of business organizations from diverse sectors and
industries. Our goal is to create a broad coalition and show of force that attracts media attention and
helps shift Congressional thinking about the economic necessity of addressing climate change.

The Business Climate and Clean Energy Advocacy Day is an excellent opportunity for businesses to
influence Congress thinking on the need to make climate change a priority issue. Companies will:
Communicate directly with members of Congress in bi-partisan meetings.
Make the case that clean energy is a dynamic, powerful force in the U.S. economy.
Urge Congress to pass legislation that reduces carbon emissions and promotes the
transition to a clean energy economy
