YCCD Featured in Newsweek

YCCD’s work is featured in a major new article in Newsweek.

"If you look at the polling, young conservatives view climate change as a threat to American security and prosperity and believe the government should respond accordingly—with a market-based climate plan," said Kiera O'Brien, who is the Founder and President of Young Conservatives for Carbon Dividends. "Our organization is working to amplify existing beliefs by organizing young conservative leaders in favor of actionable solutions."

The article goes on to highlight that YCCD is advocating for the free-market Carbon Dividends solution, which was originally put forward by former Republican Secretaries of State James A. Baker III and George P. Shultz.

"We represent the next generation of conservative leadership, and we recognize that championing free-market climate solutions is not only good policy but also good politics," O'Brien said. "We'd like to see the GOP lead and win on climate."
