Hi there,
America’s public lands and waters are among our greatest treasures. Our national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, monuments, conservation areas, and public lands power local economies, provide clean air and water, protect our cultural heritage, and help define who we are as a country.
As a mayor and as a veteran, Pete deeply appreciates the value of the outdoors to support healthy communities and sustainable economies and to bring us together as Americans in a place of refuge, reflection, and healing.
As President, Pete will work to combat the climate crisis and protect our nation’s land, water, and wildlife for future generations. His administration will:
Make public lands and waters part of the climate solution. Pete’s climate plan harnesses the power of cities and towns, local community leaders, and rural America to ensure we are all part of the climate solution. His plan will make the U.S. economy net-zero emissions by no later than 2050 while helping industries that have provided so many families a livelihood to transform into clean energy leaders and provide for generations to come.
Set a national goal to protect and restore at least 30% of U.S. lands and oceans by 2030. Pete will strengthen protections for existing public lands under threat of development from the oil, gas, and mining industries and ensure consistent and robust conservation funding for federal land management agencies, states, and tribes.
Secure a sustainable water future. Pete’s administration will make a $90 billion investment in ensuring that every American has access to clean water. This will include over $35 billion to provide basic water and wastewater services to the two million Americans who lack it, including many tribal communities, and upgrade outdated water infrastructure. Pete’s water agenda will also include $20 billion to replace lead pipes and a new program to help low-income families afford their water bill.
Prepare for natural disasters, including protecting families, communities, wildlife habitat, and rangelands from catastrophic wildfires. Pete will create a Disaster Commission within his first 100 days, increase the number of FEMA-qualified disaster workers, and recruit 5,000 firefighters and related experts to keep communities safe.
Build resilient communities. Pete will make sure that we prepare all Americans for accelerating climate change—especially those from low-income, Black, Latino, and Native communities that face disproportionate negative impacts from environmental crises.
Recognize the right of Tribal Nations to manage their reservation communities and resources. Climate change disproportionately threatens the ability of Tribal Nations to protect and preserve their land, air, and water for future generations.
