Beyond Carbon is Big Thinking on Climate Action

NEW YORK – Bloomberg Philanthropies announced a massive new "Beyond Carbon" initiative to combat climate change nationally.

Following is a statement from Natural Resources Defense Council President Rhea Suh:

“The need for aggressive climate action has never been so urgent. As the Trump Administration drags their heels in D.C., transformative initiatives like Beyond Carbon are essential to fill in the gap and accelerate the nation’s clean energy future. Beyond Carbon is another example of Mayor Bloomberg thinking big. We look forward to helping make this important initiative a success.”
