Opportunities6.4Describe how your local/regional government collaborates and coordinates vertically (higher levels of government) on climate action.0The Township collaborates with State and Federal elected and appointed officials on climate action.

Pennsylvania would become the first major fossil fuel-producing state to put a price on carbon emissions. A copy of the Township's letter may be viewed at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HEzy-E6IOYodLL_DkM1fRbQQMzmTFWqW/view?usp=sharingIn 2019, the President of the Abington Township Board of Commissioners reached out to Congressperson Madeleine Dean to enlist her support to become a co-sponsor H.R.763 - Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act of 2019 (see https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/763/cosponsors).
