The Maryland Commission on Climate Change discussed The Climate Solutions Now Act and environmental justice Thursday, at its first meeting since the landmark climate bill passed through the General Assembly this spring. Commissioners at the virtual meeting discussed some of the challenges state policymakers will face in implementing the new law. The Climate Solutions Now Act requires the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by altering emissions and clean energy goals, establishing a net-zero greenhouse gas emission target and developing “efficiency and emissions reduction requirements” for certain buildings, according to the bill’s synopsis.
