Tackling Climate Change in Indiana
We're working for a future where Hoosiers and nature thrive together.
The Nature Conservancy works collaboratively with lawmakers, business leaders, academia and advocates to advance nonpartisan, science-based solutions that protect our state’s natural treasures, create jobs and cost-savings to the state and help lessen the impacts of a changing climate.
Our Advocacy in Action
Indiana’s environment, public health
and economy depend on strong climate and clean energy leadership at all
levels of our government. Hoosiers across the political spectrum agree: seven in 10 voters
believe the federal government needs to do more to combat climate
change, including 55% of Republicans. And there’s a powerful economic
case to be made for climate action and clean energy adoption.
Indiana Voters Overwhelmingly Support Climate Leadership
Indiana voters across the political spectrum are increasingly finding common ground on the urgent need for climate action.
Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike support climate solutions that meaningfully reduce emissions, create 21st century jobs and conserve our natural treasures.
Hoosiers back home are calling on their Members of Congress to work across the aisle and enact pragmatic policies that address the root causes of climate change.
Indiana has proven it’s possible to tackle climate change, grow our economy and support hardworking Hoosiers. Through inspired leadership at the federal level, Indiana can show the nation—and the world—what’s possible.
Indiana's Climate and Energy Future
All over the state, investments are being made to tap into the potential of renewable energy, or to use nature and our natural systems to combat climate change, all while improving the bottom line.
