It’s official: 2020 was one of the hottest years on record. And rising temperatures aren’t the only climate disasters we’re facing — over the last year, we’ve seen historically destructive heat waves, wildfires, hurricanes, flooding and more.
Scientists describe this as a ‘climate emergency’ to recognize the threat of climate change and how dangerous inaction is. It’s crucial that our leaders do so as well. That’s why we’re calling for President Biden to declare a climate emergency.
It’s clear: we need an unprecedented, bold response from our leadership to get us through the climate crisis. Sign our petition and tell President Biden: Declare a climate emergency and take executive action immediately.

Now, we need him to take it a step further by declaring a climate emergency — a crucial decision that would allow the executive branch to mobilize our industrial might to finance and build clean energy projects and create millions of jobs.
There is no time to waste – we need bold, decisive leadership in order to respond to the climate crisis. Add your name to call on President Biden to declare a climate emergency. »
