@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro Here is @PeteButtigieg’s voluntary national service plan. The climate corps would “build resiliency & sustainability against climate disruption and help first responders in the wake of disaster that threatens us all.”
peteforamerica.com/national-servi…
@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro .@PeteButtigieg has experience to inform his Climate Corps’s disaster relief function. As mayor, he has deployed his Fire Department’s highly regarded Swift Water Rescue Group to help in flooded areas, like in North Carolina after Hurricane Florence.
@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro This is one of my favorite statements from @PeteButtigieg on the #ClimateCrisis:
@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro I also liked this phrase, because it shows me that @PeteButtigieg gets the urgency of our #ClimateCrisis.
@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro I consider this highly indicative of which candidates truly prioritize #ClimateAction. (This is about the first night of the second round of debates.)
@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro Back to @PeteButtigieg’s record on climate! He participated in this climate change panel in 2017. You can still hear the whole discussion if you click through the links.
(Co-panelists Mayors Adler & Parker have endorsed him for president.)
@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro Pete: "This is [a] great example of what city-university partnerships can look like in the 21st century. The city is pleased to reach an agreement that invests in a sustainable future & makes downtown S. Bend an even better place to live, work and play."

@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro This was a big deal in 2017 too!
@PeteButtigieg: “Since the [Trump] administration has suppressed the presentation of climate change data on the EPA website, [South Bend] will host an archive of the site on our own servers.“

@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro .@PeteButtigieg was among the first round of US mayors to join to the Mayors' National Climate Action Agenda, a commitment to adopt, honor and uphold the Paris Climate Agreement goals.

@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro .@PeteButtigieg proposed a #PittsburghSummit on Climate Change during the June debates.
“There’s networks of mayors and cities from around the world who have come together — not even waiting for our national governments to catch up.”
@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro Here’s an editorial about @PeteButtigieg’s #PittsburghSummit idea. Pittsburgh Mayor @billpeduto likes the idea and suggested that the U.N.’s Conference of the Parties 28 in 2022 would be a perfect opportunity.
@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro @billpeduto I almost forgot about when #MayorPete signed the Pledge to Repower Indiana! #CleanEnergy #ClimateChange

@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro @billpeduto Mayor @PeteButtigieg: “The time has come to end our region’s dependence on coal-powered electricity & replace it w/ clean energy technologies... we request [I & M’s] plans for the future include a meaningful commitment to energy efficiency, energy storage & renewable energy.”
@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro @billpeduto According to @PeteButtigieg’s college friend @HenrySternCA, Pete was already preoccupied with leadership & climate change back at Harvard.
@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro @billpeduto @HenrySternCA .@PeteButtigieg is still focused on these issues. He recently discussed how farmers can be part of #ClimateCrisis *solutions* with farmer & climate activist @MattRussellCRF in Iowa. Russell said “he gets it.” I agree!
@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro @billpeduto @HenrySternCA @MattRussellCRF .@PeteButtigieg’s rural economic opportunity plan includes several #CimateAction initiatives. One of these invests ~$50 BIL into research & development in soil technology; plant & animal health; food safety; nutrition & health; and natural resources.

@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro @billpeduto @HenrySternCA @MattRussellCRF Another part of @PeteButtigieg’s rural plan would pay farmers to maximize land conservation, biodiversity, productivity & soil health by expanding existing ecosystem services and “[reducing] the administrative barriers that many farmers face trying to access these incentives.”
@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro @billpeduto @HenrySternCA @MattRussellCRF Pete’s plan also establishes “next-generation Resilience Hubs” to provide climate resilience data, tools & support to help communities understand & manage risks. This would be funded by the private sector & by $5 BIL/year in federal Resilient America Grants, allocated regionally.
@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro @billpeduto @HenrySternCA @MattRussellCRF .@PeteButtigieg’s plan also supports the Renewable Fuels Standard as written & “[stops] the abuse of ‘small refinery’ exemptions established by the current administration, which allows fossil fuel giants to skirt their obligations to blend biofuels.”

@Chimos5CAD @2020inslee @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro @billpeduto @HenrySternCA @MattRussellCRF Well, this got long! But I still left out so many things that @PeteButtigieg did as mayor regarding #ClimateChange & #sustainability! I highly recommend this profile by @neelaeast. Btw, she tweeted that #MayorPete answered her emailed questions personally.
