The Environmental League of Massachusetts (ELM) is the founding leader of the New England for Offshore Wind Coalition (NE4OSW).  This coalition advocates for the six New England states to significantly raise their offshore wind procurement commitments, and significantly deepen their regional collaboration.  NE4OSW members are committed to supporting offshore wind’s role in achieving our climate goals and unlocking the astounding economic development potential of this resource.  Join Elizabeth for a timely, candid discussion about the state of offshore wind in New England and the advocacy strategies underway to harness this resource in an environmentally and socially responsible way.
