ISRC 2027 keynote

Bob Inglis, executive director, republicEn

Once a climate skeptic, Bob Inglis is now one of America’s foremost conservative voices calling for climate action. A Republican who represented South Carolina’s Fourth Congressional District for twelve years, Inglis introduced a carbon tax in 2009 to make polluting fossil fuels more expensive — a stance that ultimately cost him his seat in Congress. In 2015, he received the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for his work on climate change. Inglis now leads republicEn, a nonprofit dedicated to engaging Americans who believe addressing climate change can go hand in hand with free enterprise, innovation, limited government, and American leadership.

At ISRC, Inglis will highlight market-oriented solutions to climate change and how to bridge political divides and catalyze climate action.
