Hamden council approves climate change superfund resolution
Original: Hamden Legislative Council approves climate change superfund resolution
The Hamden Legislative Council has approved a climate change superfund resolution, a measure aimed at holding large fossil fuel companies financially responsible for climate adaptation costs in the Connecticut town. The vote makes Hamden part of a broader movement of municipalities and states pursuing polluter-pays climate funding mechanisms, though details of implementation and any next steps remain limited.
Why now: Local governments are increasingly seeking to make fossil fuel companies pay for climate-related damages, drawing public attention to this step by Hamden.
