On April 24, 2025, nearly 300 leaders from government, industry, finance, and civil society gathered in Washington, DC, for the US Leaders’ Forum. Hosted by Climate Group North America, the event underscored a powerful message: collaborative, cross-sectoral action is essential to secure America’s clean energy future. 

Key Insights:

  • Energy Resilience Through Collaboration: Leaders called for smarter procurement, community-led grid planning, and regulatory certainty to overcome fragmented infrastructure and support sectors like AI and electrification.
  • Innovative Finance & Policy: Sessions emphasized the need for adaptive regulatory frameworks, green banks, and clean tech investment pipelines to stabilize and scale clean energy deployment.
  • Effective Climate Communication: Trusted messengers from business, healthcare, and frontline communities are key to bridging divides and driving public engagement.
  • Global Leadership & Trade: Clean energy is emerging as a tool of industrial diplomacy. Strategic tariffs and investment frameworks are needed to maintain US competitiveness.
