Maryland is reshaping what climate leadership looks like — not just through bold targets, but through the dollars that bring those targets to life. In this episode of Fifty Shades of Green, we sit down with Secretary Serena McIlwain of the Maryland Department of the Environment to explore how the state is embedding climate action into its budgeting system and building a government where climate impact is part of every decision.
Secretary McIlwain breaks down how Maryland:
You’ll hear how Maryland is institutionalizing climate responsibility, building market certainty, and ensuring everyday public investments cut pollution, lower costs, and support communities facing real climate impacts.
If you want a look inside what “next‑generation climate budgeting” really means, and how states can transform ambition into results, this episode is a must‑listen.
