The American Climate Corps

After years of grassroots pressure, President Biden signed an executive order to create the American Climate Corps, a New Deal–style jobs program to address climate change and promote conservation. In its first year, it will create jobs for 20,000 young people in work to fight the climate crisis, expand access to nature, and clean up pollution.

Protecting the Arctic Isn't Over

In September, the Biden administration canceled all existing oil and gas drilling leases in the Arctic Refuge. This is a huge win, but our work isn't finished. It's only a matter of time before the oil and gas industry tries again. We need permanent protections to preserve these lands and waters.

Preserving Our Forests

Mature and old-growth forests are one of this country's greatest resources. These trees provide critical habitat for wildlife, prevent erosion and flooding, protect our drinking water, and are an essential climate solution. But they're at risk.

The Risk of Breaching 1.50C

The planet is currently 1.30C hotter on average annually than it was before the Industrial Revolution. Breaching 1.50C does not mean the planet would stay there, but "whether or not we can get to net zero and remove enough carbon from the atmosphere to bring temperatures back down by the end of the century is very much an open question and would involve a huge amount of political will."
