This forum is part of the Maryland Matters Climate Calling project. In May 2021, Maryland Matters' founding editor Josh Kurtz stepped back from daily management of this nonprofit newsroom to undertake a project looking at the threat of climate change in Maryland. The project has yielded dozens of stories, including deeply reported analyses of state policies and a Climate Voters' guide during the 2022 election. Learn more about Maryland Matters.
