Climate and Energy

Clean electricity, efficient and resilient housing, and zero-emission transportation choices are all essential to healthy living and a livable planet. Expanding access to healthy and safe homes, renewable energy, and clean transportation will cut pollution and are key to reversing the harms and costs of climate change. 

Building renewable energy and zero-emission technologies supports millions of jobs, and policy must ensure that these jobs are located here in the United States and provide workers high wages, good benefits, and full collective bargaining rights. Aligning a U.S. trade and industrial policy regime to prioritize workers and reduce pollution will drive American innovation, support a thriving workforce, and strengthen supply chains in industry and manufacturing. 

Strengthening public health and environmental standards to rein in corporate polluters will ensure everyone can realize their fundamental right to clean air, clean water, and healthy, thriving communities. 

Creating a road map for federal action that lifts up lessons learned from states, local governments, and tribal nations will build on important progress made on climate, public health, resilience, clean energy, and good jobs. Collaborating with other countries to support clean tech deployment and supply chain resilience will drive down global oil and gas demand, delivering benefits for the American people and communities around the world in the form of lower energy costs, decreased greenhouse gas emissions, and independence from volatile authoritarian governments.
