John,

We have some good news on climate change: if Paris Agreement signees continue to stay on track with their promises, our Earth will hit just below 2 degrees Celsius of warming – which will avoid the most catastrophic climate change effects.

A new analysis published by Nature has tracked the impacts of 154 new or updated national commitments made since climate talks concluded in Glasgow last year. It finds that the long-term goals covered 75% of all global greenhouse gas emissions and that immediate policy changes – like the Global Methane Pledge – will be instrumental in dropping our emissions by 2030 to reach Paris Agreement goals.

It’s easy to become discouraged by the state of our climate, but this latest report shows that global action can mitigate the worst impacts of climate change. For the first time, governments have come forward with specific targets that keep global warming below 2 degrees. But plans will mean nothing if they’re not followed up with action.

SEEC PAC members have always known that if we make good on our promises and hold ourselves accountable for our climate commitments, we have a chance to reverse this crisis. That’s why they’re fighting day in and day out to lower emissions, reduce the impact of extreme weather and eliminate pollution through environmentally sustainable policy.

As we continue honoring Earth Day by making small life changes that make a difference, we hope you’ll consider chipping in to support SEEC PAC members in their fight for legislative action on climate change. It’ll take all forms of action, from doing what you can in your own home, to a comprehensive multi-national response, to save our Earth.

Thanks, John.
