OUR PRIORITIES
Our top priority is achieving durable and ambitious federal climate action. We have made significant progress in recent years, but there is so much more to do. In order to stave off the worst impacts of climate change and extreme weather, we must continue to slash carbon pollution that worsens the climate crisis, especially in overburdened communities, expand our clean energy economy, create new jobs, and produce more clean energy.
Additionally, we must stand against the new administration’s policies that will harm clean energy and exacerbate the climate crisis. People across the country already see the impacts of the investments in the climate and clean energy plan, included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Now, these unprecedented and historic investments centered on climate action, justice, and jobs must be protected to ensure they meet their promise to rebuild our infrastructure, expand our economy, create new jobs, and protect our health by cutting dangerous pollution from power plants, cars and trucks, and other sources. Every second of delay increases the cost of climate inaction.
CURRENT CAMPAIGNS
Saving Clean Energy
Clean energy investments are boosting the economy, tackling the climate crisis, and lowering costs for families. Under the Trump administration, these investments are under attack. Eliminating tax credits for clean energy and programs making renewables more accessible for all will slow job creation, raise energy bills, and worsen health risks from air pollution. We are standing strong to defend these investments.
Protecting Climate
The failure to act on the climate crisis cost Americans $182.7 billion in 2024 or $5,777.55 per second – nearly double the per-second cost in 2023. This total reflects the 27 separate billion-dollar weather and climate disasters the U.S. experienced in 2024, the second most ever recorded in a calendar year and falling just short of the record set in 2023. These disasters were also exceedingly deadly, causing at least 568 deaths, the 8th most disaster-related fatalities for the contiguous U.S. in the last four decades.
CURRENT INITIATIVES
Trump Tracker
Tracking Trump’s Climate and Clean Energy Rollbacks | President Trump has wasted no time in rolling back the significant progress the United States has made on climate change. These Trump’s rollbacks aren’t just dangerous for our climate – they’re an assault on Americans’ health, the economy, and our environment and stand in direct opposition to what Americans want. Trump’s policies will result in higher energy prices and more climate pollution fueling catastrophic climate impacts, slow the creation of thousands of new clean energy, and leave Americans more vulnerable to health-harming air pollution.
Stand Strong for Climate
Climate and clean energy investments and pollution protections are creating jobs, lowering prices, and cleaning up our air and water. Undoing these programs would be disastrous for the health and safety of our communities, the strength of our economy, and the stability of our environment, with communities overburdened by pollution suffering disproportionate impacts. Together, we are standing strong for climate protections and will fight President Trump’s plans to harm our environment, our health, our economy, and our climate.
Climate Wins Here Map
Communities across the United States are benefitting from the $369 billion provided by the climate and clean energy plan. The Climate Wins Here map shows where these investments are making a difference. The data reflected here is inclusive of announced and awarded federal dollars and categorizes the investments as clean energy and power, clean transportation, environmental resilience and remediation, and infrastructure.
The Cost of Inaction
Our climate can’t wait! Communities across the country are suffering climate consequences from more intense and frequent hurricanes, to worsening flooding, to raging wildfires, to deadly droughts. Every second we delay action, the cost to the American people only grows in lives and dollars lost, and harm to the environment. Congress must stand strong for climate and oppose attempts by the Trump administration to roll back climate progress or clean energy investments.
Cleaning up Power Plant Pollution—A Visual Guide
This guide, available as a PDF, details how the strong administrative protections we urge the administration to implement will help clean up power plant pollution.
Ranging from carbon pollution standards and soot air quality standards to power plant wastewater standards and cross-state air pollution standards, these administrative protections advance vital public health and environmental justice goals. Click the button to see and download the guide.
