John,

Last week, President Biden and his administration celebrated their first year in office. In just the first year of his administration, we’ve already seen significant progress on climate change.

Although there is still much to be done, we wanted to highlight some of the achievements made so far this year by the Biden administration. These include:

1.
Reentering
the
Paris
Climate
Agreement
and
setting
aggressive
U.S.
climate
goals.
One
of
President
Biden’s
first
actions
was
to
reestablish
the
U.S.
as
a
presence
on
the
international
stage
when
it
comes
to
climate
change.
His
aggressive
goal
of
a
50-52%
reduction
in
U.S.
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
2030
helped
spur
leaders
across
the
globe
to
similarly
increase
their
level
of
ambition.

2.
Ending
U.S.
government
support
for
fossil
fuels
overseas
,
a
move
that
prohibits
government
agencies
from
financing
or
supporting
international
fossil
fuel
projects
that
do
not
capture
their
emissions,
except
under
strictly
limited
circumstances.
The
new
policy
is
redirecting
tens
of
billions
of
dollars
of
taxpayer
money
to
low
carbon
priorities.

3.
Ensuring
the
federal
government
—
the
nation’s
single
largest
energy
consumer,
employer,
and
landowner
—
is
on
track
to
achieving
net-zero
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
2050.
To
meet
that
goal,
the
Biden
administration
is
transitioning
600,000
cars
and
trucks
to
electric
vehicles,
moving
300,000
buildings
to
carbon-free
energy,
and
applying
a
‘Buy
Clean’
policy
for
the
$650
billion
in
goods
and
services
the
federal
government
purchases
each
year.

4.
Securing
$126
billion
in
new
spending
from
the
bipartisan
infrastructure
law
to
build
a
clean
transportation
sector.
This
money
will
build
500,000
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
across
the
country,
provide
the
largest
investment
ever
in
passenger
rail,
and
correct
damage
done
by
highways
built
through
minority
communities
by
making
these
areas
more
liveable
and
walkable.

5.
Reversing
Trump
administration
rollbacks
of
lighting
efficiency
standards.
The
Biden
administration
is
proposing
new
consumer
bulbs
produce
at
least
45
lumens
per
watt
which
LED
bulbs
currently
on
the
market
can
achieve.
The
administration
estimates
this
return
to
efficient
lighting
standards
will
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
222
million
metric
tons
over
the
next
three
decades
while
saving
consumers
$2.9
billion
per
year.

John, we can be proud of these first-year accomplishments by the Biden administration. And we expect the pace of important actions by the administration on climate to only grow from here.

But in order for the administration to keep playing offense on climate rather than defense, the president needs strong environmental allies in Congress. Will you show your support for continued strong climate action by making a donation to SEEC members today? [[link removed]]
