President Biden promised to address the climate crisis by cutting climate pollution in half by 2030 and to deliver strong public health protections for all communities, including those historically overburdened by pollution.
The Climate Action Campaign’s “Solutions for Pollution” campaign will call on the Biden administration to carry out its responsibilities under our nation’s bedrock environmental laws, such as the Clean Air Act, by advancing approximately 20 protections across federal agencies that could cut climate pollution in half by 2030, advance vital public health and environmental justice goals, accelerate the transition to clean energy, and create new economic opportunity.

ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
Energy. Clean energy can’t wait! These administrative actions will accelerate the transition to clean energy and create new economic opportunity. Wind, solar, and other home-grown renewable energy sources will power America into the future, create good-paying clean energy jobs, and bolster our clean energy independence.
Climate. Our climate can’t wait! From more intense and frequent hurricanes, to worsening flooding, to raging wildfires, to deadly droughts, communities across the country are feeling the impacts of the climate crisis now. Every second we delay action, the cost to the American people only grows in lives and dollars lost, and harm to the environment. By using every lever at his disposal, President Biden can deliver on his promises and take the urgent action that science demands to address climate change.
Health. Our health can’t wait! That’s why our campaign advances vital public health goals by urging the administration to set the strongest possible standards to cut climate pollution and other dangerous pollution and to protect our health and environment.
Justice. Environmental justice can’t wait! This is why our campaign advances key environmental justice goals and urges the administration to set the strongest possible standards to help communities and families that have been historically overburdened by pollution.

President Biden & Administrator Regan: Time for Strong Solutions for Pollution!
We live in a world where pollution threatens not only our environment but also our health and well-being. That’s why we’re asking President Biden and EPA Administrator Regan to adopt the strongest possible solutions for pollution! We’re at a critical juncture, and we cannot afford to delay action any longer.
Moreover, the economic toll of inaction cannot be understated. The surge in extreme weather events, directly attributed to climate change, is reaching alarming proportions. In just the first seven months of 2023, we witnessed a staggering fifteen confirmed climate disaster events causing losses exceeding $1 billion each, as reported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This figure does not even account for the heartbreaking loss of life and property resulting from unprecedented wildfires in Maui or the devastation wrought by Hurricane Idalia.
Pollution affects every aspect of our lives, from the air we breathe to the water we drink, and it disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. We need stringent regulations, cleaner energy sources, and a commitment to environmental justice. Together, we can make a difference and ensure a brighter, cleaner future for everyone!
