Our Climate

Global climate change and the pollutants causing global warming are the single largest threat to wildlife today.

Click here to help protect wildlife from global warming.

Changing climate patterns already affect wildlife migration patterns, critical habitat, food chains, and population levels. If we don't act now, up to 30% of all known plant and wildlife species could become extinct.

But, it's not too late. You can help ensure a future for wildlife and wild places. You can ensure that future generations still know a world with polar bears and other wild treasures.

By capping our greenhouse gas emissions and making investments in clean energy technologies and clean energy jobs, we can protect wildlife populations and safeguard our natural resources. We can ensure a better future for the next generation.

We have the chance to build a world that runs on sustainable energy, provides clean jobs for all Americans, and values the wildlife and wild places you cherish.

Take action today to help build a new energy economy, grow new green jobs for all Americans, and help stop the harmful pollution that threatens our communities and our natural world.
