President-Elect Biden has vowed to take bold action to repair America’s frayed social fabric, grow a clean and equitable economy, and confront the existential threat of climate change.
With your support, EDF is urging our incoming President to choose policies that put America back to work and bring us together:
1) Power up a better America. Biden can make good on his promise to create 1 million clean transportation-related jobs in the next four years, and millions more in clean energy, by swiftly beginning the transition to 100% clean electricity and 100% clean for new vehicle sales. Taking these steps can also bring significant health benefits, potentially saving 20,000 lives a year by reducing the pollution that causes asthma attacks, heart disease and other serious health problems.
2) Restore America’s global climate leadership. Only when we acknowledge our climate responsibility on the global stage, follow and fund the science, and bring the right experts to the table will we be able to reclaim U.S. leadership in driving lasting environmental solutions. The single fastest thing we can do right now to slow the rate of warming is to reduce the amount of methane coming from the oil and gas industry. Concerted methane policy in North America and Europe could deliver a meaningful climate impact, and U.S. leadership on this is imperative.
3) Cut pollution, starting in communities most at risk. America’s safety standards for clean air, water and toxic chemicals are in tatters after four years of Trump administration rollbacks. The Biden administration must use its full existing authority to strengthen protections for communities and individuals at high risk, support rural fishing and farming communities through investment in climate resilient food systems, and invest in natural infrastructure that can protect our communities from the ravages of climate change.
It’s an ambitious agenda – which is why making your donation today, when it can go four times further than normal, is the most impactful way you can support the bold action that our futures depend on.
