Rhode Island
is at a
Climate Crossroads
Rhode Island is falling behind on climate. Unless the state changes course, it will miss its 2030 mandate to cut emissions 45 percent and leave communities more vulnerable to rising seas, extreme weather, and higher energy costs.
Recent federal rollbacks on clean energy and other climate-related funding only raise the stakes. The time for effective, coordinated action is now.
The Ocean State Climate Alliance (OSCA) brings political know-how and professional, coordinated advocacy to ensure Rhode Island delivers on the promise of its Act on Climate.
