Climate change is caused by too much heat-trapping gas in Earth’s atmosphere. With laws that make it easier to build and connect clean energy, we can dramatically reduce our emissions and stop climate change from getting worse, creating a safer, healthier world for ourselves and future generations.

Research Says: “Deep, rapid, and sustained mitigation would [...] lead to a discernible slowdown in global warming within around two decades [and] deliver many co-benefits, especially for air quality and health.”

Many of Earth’s natural systems, like our forests, oceans, and even our soil itself, can remove excess heat-trapping gas out of the air. Human technology to do the same is advancing every day. We can better support Earth’s natural systems and emerging technology to draw more and more of our past pollution out of the atmosphere, helping bring our climate back in balance.

Research Says: “Carbon dioxide removal is not a substitute for deep emissions reductions, but it is an important tool that should be deployed in tandem with other mitigation methods.”

Climate change is here, and it’s already hurting people with record-breaking fires, floods, hurricanes, and extreme temperatures. We need to boost our resilience to the climate impacts that we’re feeling today and proactively adapt so we are better protected into the future. At every turn, we must consider the financial burden on people across America, ensuring that every household feels the benefits of climate action and clean energy.

Research Says: “The earlier the adaptation measures are implemented, the more the world will benefit.”
