While the federal government has spent much of 2025 eliminating climate programs, cutting clean energy funding, and rolling back environmental regulations, states across the country have been exploring a wide range of policy approaches in an effort to meet our climate goals. Now that the majority of state legislative sessions have concluded, it’s important to reflect on what’s been accomplished and where we’ve seen setbacks so far this year. Join us to explore key trends — including both the wins and the hurdles — that have emerged in 2025 across state legislatures and regulatory bodies nationwide.
We’ve invited a panel of experts to dive deeper into the 2025 state climate policy trends. Our expert panel includes:
- Ava Gallo, Climate and Energy Program Manager at the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators
- Ruby Wincele, Policy & Research Manager at Climate XChange
- Jacqueline Adams, Senior Policy & Research Associate at Climate XChange
