Senator Coons is leading the first-ever bipartisan congressional delegation at COP26 and will be joined by Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Congressman John Curtis (R-UT), and a coalition of Democratic senators and representatives.
Backer will moderate the natural climate solutions panel with Senator Stabenow, Senator Merkley, Senator Gillibrand, Senator Baldwin, and Representative Malinowski.
ACC President Benji Backer said: “I’m looking forward to moderating such an important, solutions-oriented conversation with both Democrats and Republicans this weekend. Natural climate solutions are an area of bipartisan agreement as ACC has demonstrated through our Rooted in America campaign.”
