Climate: Securing a cleaner future

Even as the administration in Washington ignores the dangers of climate change, we have reasons to hope.

To stop the rise of climate pollution – while growing the economy – we've zeroed in on solutions with the biggest impact. 

• 

  Hasten the clean energy economy »

  Why: Outdated policies governing electric utilities don't fairly value clean energy, and polluters have had free license to pollute.

  How: We'll help overhaul rules that restrict the new energy market, while pushing for limits on carbon pollution, like the Clean Power Plan.

• 

  Lower climate pollution from natural gas »

  Why: We'll slow the pace of climate change if we cut carbon dioxide and potent short-acting gases like methane.

  How: We're targeting key states to pass methane standards, and making the case for fixing methane leaks across the supply chain.

• 

  Boost efforts to help China effectively slash pollution »

  Why: China is now the world's top emitter of climate pollution. 

  How: We're working with China's government on market-based solutions to cut emissions.

• 

  Foster sustainable land use »

  Why: Deforestation and fertilizer pollution are major contributors to climate change. 

  How: We're advancing economic concepts and market mechanisms that help increase the value of rainforests.
