This presentation will focus on the climate and clean energy advocacy of The Natural Resources Council of Maine, the state’s leading nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization dedicated to protecting, restoring, and conserving Maine’s environment, now and for future generations. Since 1959, NRCM has harnessed the power of the law, science, and the voices of nearly 20,000 supporters statewide and beyond to protect the places and way of life that make Maine so special.

Josh Caldwell works to build coalitions that can effectively implement policy by pushing our state and federal legislators to act on climate and clean energy initiatives. For the past six years, he has been engaged in environmental and political organizing in Maine, forging new connections and deepening his knowledge of an incredible state.
