On November 6, Gov. Edwards announced his appointments to the Climate Initiatives Task Force, which will recommend strategies to cut statewide net greenhouse gas emissions among other issues relating to how the climate affects Louisiana. The Gov. called on leaders from across government, the private sector, academic institutions, and civil society to follow the science to arrive at policies able to help reduce Louisiana's contributions to global climate change while fully recognizing Louisiana's climate vulnerabilities and its industrial and economic characteristics. "By engaging stakeholders from all sides of this issue in the development of these policies, we will take a comprehensive look at how to best meet the challenges of the future. I know we can achieve consensus on the most important points because I know we all want a better future for Louisiana and its people," said Gov. Edwards.
