Sep 25, 2019, 12:49 ET
NEWARK, N.J., Sept. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite clear and science-based warnings that humanity has a limited window within which to make drastic cuts to global carbon emissions, the world continues to move slowly in taking action to address climate change. Today, Public Service Enterprise Group Chairman, President and CEO Ralph Izzo launches his 5 Things to Tackle Climate Change – a climate strategy that fits on one hand.
The 5 Things in desperate need of attention and action to reduce the most damaging impacts of climate change are:
- Energy efficiency
- Preserving carbon-free nuclear energy
- A price on carbon
- Renewable energy
- Electrifying transportation
"You don't need to be a physicist or an engineer to see that we need to act on climate now to avoid the most damaging impacts of climate change in the future," Izzo said. "If we hope to mitigate the most damaging impacts of our changing climate, it's clear that there are five things we need to do – some more quickly than others."
Ralph Izzo's 5 Things can be found on LinkedIn and on Energize!, the company's blog.
