Meeting climate goals through tax reform
A Hamilton Project event

Tuesday, February 27, 2024, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. EST
The Brookings Institution, Saul Room, 1775 Massachusetts Ave. NW. Washington, D.C.

The tax code, where much of U.S. climate policy is implemented, will likely be the subject of intense policy debate in 2025. To inform that debate, it is important to explore how choices for tax policy can have significant effects on the speed of decarbonization in the United States. 

On Tuesday, February 27, The Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution will convene leaders and experts to discuss the future of climate policy through tax reform. The event will feature a fireside chat between Senate Budget Committee Chairman Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Richard Rubin of the Wall Street Journal. 

The event will also feature Kimberly Clausing (University of California Los Angeles), Wendy Edelberg (Brookings Institution), Shuting Pomerleau (Niskanen Center), James Stock (Harvard University), and Sanjay Patnaik (Brookings Institution). 

The event will coincide with the release of a Hamilton Project essay on related topics. For updates on the event, viewers can follow @HamiltonProj and join the conversation using #ClimateTax to ask questions or email info@hamiltonproject.org.
