Climate Politics in an Age of Inflation, Invasion, and Supply Shocks featuring Alex Trembath

Presented by republicEn

May 21, 2025, 2:00 – 3:00 pm ET, 1:00 – 3:00 pm CT, 12:00 – 1:00 pm MT, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm PT

Join republicEn for a timely conversation with Alex Trembath, Deputy Director of the Breakthrough Institute, as he unpacks how today’s climate politics must evolve to meet the moment. In this webinar, Trembath will explore his “Climate Hawk” perspective, arguing that the foundations of modern climate policy were laid during an era of cheap capital, geopolitical calm, and sluggish economic demand—conditions that no longer apply.

In a post-COVID, post-Ukraine world, climate change now competes with a host of other urgent global challenges—from war and energy instability to AI-driven uncertainty. Meanwhile, today’s economic struggles are rooted less in demand and more in supply: bottlenecks, permitting delays, and fragile supply chains all hinder progress.

What does this mean for climate advocates and policy design in 2025? How should a “Climate Hawk” recalibrate their approach amid shifting political and economic realities? Don’t miss this chance to hear from one of the most original thinkers at the intersection of technology, policy, and environmental strategy.

Whether you’re a policymaker, advocate, or just curious about the future of climate action, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

This is a free event.
