Climate Change

The latest science is clear about what the U.S. must do, not only to avert catastrophe, but to realize the $3 trillion opportunity in leading the transition to a clean energy and climate-secure future. To avoid the unmanageable and manage the unavoidable, we must accelerate the energy transition at home and abroad and increase the resilience of our infrastructure and communities. With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, President Biden and Congress set the stage for a decisive decade of U.S. climate and clean energy leadership, but further action is needed.  

You can contribute to these efforts by encouraging your elected representatives in Congress – and leaders at all levels of government – to support policies that will spur clean energy development and deployment and enable us to decarbonize further and faster across the power, transportation, industrial, buildings, and agricultural sectors. But this must be matched by increased support  for sustainable development overseas. As a world-leading economy and geopolitical power, we must meet our commitment to deliver $11.4 billion in annual climate finance for developing countries and do more to marshal public and private resources to accelerate the energy transition and support climate adaptation globally.
