The New York League of Conservation Voters (NYLCV) has launched the Climate Action PAC to financially support candidates with proven track records at supporting climate change initiatives.
The Climate Action PAC will start with New York State legislative seats in 2008 and local races all over the state in 2009. The overall goal, according to the NY League of Conservation Voters, is to get politicians thinking about developing a comprehensive statewide energy plan.
The NYLCV is a non-partisan organization that lobbies for environmental policy across the state. By creating the Climate Action PAC to endorse green politicians the NYLCV intends to get politicians elected who will address climate change issues facing New York. Issues include warming temperatures that affect agriculture, recreation and tourism activities.
The NYLCV has historically endorsed politicians whose agendas are in line with those of the organization, but the Climate Action PAC goes a step further at financially supporting candidates in addition to policy and other ballot measures.
