Sustaining Innovation in New Jersey Climate Policy

June 16, 2025

On March 21, 2025, the New Jersey Climate Change Resource Center at Rutgers University hosted a day-long conference titled “Sustaining Innovation in New Jersey Climate Policy: Past, Present and Future.”

Approximately 200 New Jersey leaders came together to engage in a dialogue about the state’s climate change goals and policies, challenges to reaching those goals, relevant lessons that can be learned from outside New Jersey, and opportunities that New Jersey can explore to further advance its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to changing climate conditions.

These proceedings provide a synthesis of ideas presented, generated, and discussed to inform ongoing efforts in New Jersey to advance sound climate change policy.
