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 local measure that would seek to make large polluters help cover the costs of climate-related damages and adaptation. The vote makes Hamden part of a growing group of municipalities pushing state-level climate superfund laws. Supporters frame it as a way to shift cleanup and resilience costs from taxpayers to major fossil fuel companies.
Why now: Local governments are increasingly adopting climate superfund measures as a way to hold polluters financially responsible for climate costs.
