Among those attending the United Nations climate summit in Egypt is Maine's 1st District congresswoman Chellie Pingree. She's part of a congressional delegation meeting with members of other nations, and youth and business leaders to discuss next steps in the effort to advance climate action. The United Nations climate summit known as COP27 is where delegates and scientists are negotiating strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change. "We came back last year to say we were in again, after Trump had pulled us out of the Paris Accord, and Biden got us back in," Pingree said. "But now we're here to say we are investing in climate change. So it's a particularly important time for that."
