The US is a leader on climate change – just not where you might think.  

Cities, states, and businesses are America’s climate innovators, deploying bottom-up solutions - and working with legislatures, city councils, and corporate boards to drive the transition to a low carbon economy.

There is one state in particular that often comes to mind when thinking about climate action in the US, and that’s California.

This week James talks to one of the architects of California's climate action - the former California State Senator Fran Pavley.

Fran served 29 years in elected office including 14 years in the California Assembly and the State Senate, during which she authored some of the most significant climate policies anywhere in the US.

This is a really interesting conversation that provides some hope about US leadership on climate change.
