ā€œI first became a ā€˜climate person’ on a 2006 trip to Alaska with my family," Steyer said in a statement. "I wanted them to see how beautiful and powerful the untouched American landscape can be. Except there was one problem — Alaska was melting. The vast glacial expanse that I admired on my first visit there in 1981 had completely disappeared.

ā€œFrom that point on, I’ve dedicated my time, resources and energy to helping America win the climate war.ā€

Steyer, who sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, is the co-founder of Galvanize Climate Solutions and founder of the progressive policy and voter organization NextGen America.
