Global warming, ocean pollution, species extinction…our generation faces large scale environmental problems that require advocacy at local, national and global levels, and businesses have a responsibility to lead the way. We look forward to working with the Chamber to bring the worlds of science and business together, and encourage further action that reflects the values of environmental stewardship and science advocacy.”
