Welcome back to the Urban Institute’s limited-series election newsletter, where we share evidence-backed research related to ongoing political dialogues. This week, we’re talking about why climate policy matters for Americans.
Climate catastrophes don’t schedule themselves around election cycles. Yet with only four weeks remaining until Election Day, the effects of climate policy are an important topic for both the presidential candidates and for elected officials representing communities like the ones picking up the pieces after Hurricane Helene.
Whether you live in an area that’s prioritizing climate resilience or one that’s yet to grapple with its vulnerability to weather-related disasters, climate policy matters for you. It might affect how your community responds to climate migrants, whether insurance gaps related to climate risk are filled, and what happens when an extreme weather event threatens the health, safety, or prosperity of your family and community.
Extreme weather and its often-devastating effects require short- and long-term solutions. Equitable, lasting climate interventions can save lives and build resilience.
Examine how climate change is affecting people and communities and explore policies and programs with the greatest potential for impact.
