Business Leaders for Climate Solutions
Business Leaders for Climate Solutions (BLCS) brings together executives, entrepreneurs and investors from around the Northwest who share our core principles and are committed to strong action to reduce global warming pollution and regional leadership in the transition to a clean and energy efficient economy. Regions with strong climate and energy policies in place are best positioned to attract new investments and generate new jobs in the global markets opening up around clean technology, renewable energy and energy efficiency. By leading the way on climate and clean-energy policy, businesses in the region will earn a seat at the table crafting emerging federal policy , and be best prepared to minimize risks, seize opportunities, and survive and thrive in the evolving global economy.

Linking Northwest Leaders to National Efforts.
One of our key goals is providing ways for regional leaders to efficiently lend their voices and expertise to the national discussion about a clean energy future. Here are two strategic efforts that we are partnering with and are closely aligned with our principles. Members of BLCS will be automatically enrolled in these efforts, unless you let us know that you would like to opt out.
American Businesses for Clean Energy (ABCE) is an initiative to demonstrate large and small business support for Congressional enactment of clean energy and climate legislation that will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ABCE's goal is to create a single place on the web where individual companies and business organizations can register their support for Congressional action, and to demonstrate the depth and breadth of business support for this legislation.
Clean Economy Network Foundation (CEN) is a national network dedicated to educating and engaging leaders in the clean economy and sharing information about policies and opportunities for job creation and investment. CEN has recently joined with the Renewable Energy Business Network to build a stronger platform for national engagement. We played a key role in founding CEN and help lead the Pacific Northwest Chapter.
