WATCH A RECAP FROM HIS CONGRESSIONAL HEARING HERE
THURSDAY, MARCH 26 - New York, NY -Adam Met,the "A" in multi-platinum band AJR and the eldest of the three brothers, will continue performing with his brothers at select AJR shows this year, while dedicating the majority of his time to his rapidly expanding climate initiatives through his nonprofit, Planet Reimagined.
Over the past several years, Adam has steadily built a parallel career in climate policy, advocacy, and education, work that has accelerated following the completion of his PhD and ongoing collaborations with members of Congress on bipartisan clean energy solutions. Watch a recap HERE.
Yesterday, Adam was invited to testify before the Congressional Committee on Natural Resources, on behalf of his Co-Location Energy Act, bipartisan legislation that takes a forward-thinking approach to unlock renewable energy potential. By allowing wind and solar projects to be co-located on existing federal energy leases, the Co-Location Energy Act provides a streamlined framework for developers to evaluate and build projects on already-disturbed federal lands with the consent of the current leaseholder.
Planet Reimagined , the creative climate incubator that develops scalable, creative solutions that bridge policy, culture, and community, has doubled in size year over year and now includes more than 25 team members around the world. Adam is the co-founder and also currently serves as the Executive Director. Planet Reimaged's flagship initiatives for 2026 are:
Last year, Adam released his debut climate and social advocacy book, AMPLIFY: How to Use the Power of Connection to Engage, Take Action, and Build a Better World , which offers a slate of proven strategies - inspired by cultural and musical icons like Taylor Swift and BTS - about building new movements and empowering individuals to find their space to make a tangible difference. Throughout the National Bestseller, Adam answers the questions: What can I do and how?.
Outside of Planet Reimagined, Adam serves as a professor at Columbia University, where he teaches graduate courses on policy and campaigning. He sits on the board of the Environmental Defense Fund and works with many candidates for Congress, governor, and mayor on effective communications strategies to protect democratic institutions. He is also developing a new initiative focused on building innovative forms of community in small towns across America.
Adam is also a regular commentator on climate issues forCNN, and his climate advocacy work has been featured in outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, The Hollywood Reporter, USA Today, Forbes, andNPR Weekend Edition, which profiled Adam in a piece about his effective climate advocacy campaign - listen HERE.
