On March 21, 2025, the New Jersey Climate Change Resource Center at Rutgers University organized a conference titled “Sustaining Innovation in New Jersey Climate Policy: Past, Present and Future.” The event brought together around 200 leaders from across New Jersey to discuss the state’s climate change goals and policies.
The conference focused on several key topics. Participants engaged in discussions about the challenges of reaching climate goals, lessons that could be learned from outside New Jersey, and opportunities for advancing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The event aimed to provide insights and ideas to inform ongoing policy efforts in the state.
The proceedings from this conference offer a synthesis of ideas presented and discussed during the event. These insights are intended to support New Jersey’s ongoing work towards developing effective climate change policies.
