Recent climate discussions have shifted towards pragmatic approaches that consider the financial realities of implementing environmental strategies, as noted by entrepreneur Thomas Steyer during New York City's Climate Week. State leadership in the U.S. is becoming increasingly critical for climate progress, with analysis from EDF showing that if states with climate commitments deliver on their goals, they could significantly reduce the emissions gap caused by federal rollbacks.
