毁灭性的大火. 巨大的洪水. 闷热不安的社区.

The western United States is no stranger to climate change. In fact, it’s home to some of global warming’s most severe 影响—and they’re only getting worse.

But 西方国家 is also home to some of the most progressive climate policies in the world. 低碳燃料规则, 能源标准, 基础设施, 以及不断发展的水系统, western states are demonstrating how to constructively respond to climate change—and how to prevent its worst 影响.

From our regional office in Oakland, the Union of Concerned Scientists has advocated for climate, 能源, and transportation legislation for decades. We’re fighting for rules that cut carbon equitably, recognizing that policies won’t work if they ignore the communities most affected by climate change.

We’re also focused on the science. That’s what we’re bringing to Sacramento and beyond: the 事实 全球变暖的问题 影响,和 解决方案. 不是党派之争.
