THE CLIMATE MOVEMENT
NEWSLETTER & ACTION TOOLKIT


EPA AUTHORITY
A proposed EPA rule could significantly change how power-sector emissions are regulated. Submit a public comment supporting the agency’s authority to limit heat-trapping pollution and protect public health.
STOP IMMUNITY
A proposed bill could shield fossil fuel companies from climate lawsuits and limit state and local climate policies. Sign up to receive an alert if the bill is rescheduled for committee action.
PROTECT PUBLIC LANDS
A federal proposal could weaken protections for national parks and forests, including long-standing safeguards for roadless areas and public lands.
TOXIC RISK
Climate change is increasing the risk of toxic pollution as floods, wildfires and rising seas threaten contaminated sites across the U.S. Explore these risks and learn how vulnerable areas can be identified.

The Flamingo Revolution and the Rhythm of Resistance: The Race to Save Europe's Last Wild River

From Farmers to Shopowners, India Counts the Cost of a Brutal Monsoon

Mapped: Oil slicks cover an area 3 times the size of Spain every year

In a warming Arctic, Inuit bear guards protect communities


BALCONY SOLAR

California residents can now use plug-in balcony solar systems, opening the door to affordable clean energy for renters and apartment dwellers.

SUSTAINABLE WASTE

Indigenous-led waste facilities are reducing pollution, strengthening local sustainability and showing how community-led solutions can protect the environment. The facility separates all waste so very little goes to landfill.

FASHION REPAIR

Reclypu Mending Club is extending the life of clothing, reducing textile waste and offering a practical alternative to fast fashion.

CLEANER CARTS

A NYC pilot is helping food vendors replace noisy, polluting generators with swappable batteries. The model could cut fuel costs, reduce emissions and make street vending quieter and cleaner.

STATES SUE

Twenty-one states are suing the EPA over its repeal of greenhouse gas emissions standards for coal- and natural gas-fired power plants. The rollback is harming both public health and the environment.

MELTING METHANE

The Arctic's frozen ground is thawing at alarming speeds, releasing methane. Bubbles of methane are made from decomposing plants and animals that had once been stuck in Alaska’s frigid permafrost.

CLIMATE COSTS

Who should pay for climate change? The Supreme Court is taking on this debate in a Colorado lawsuit against Exxon Mobil and Suncor. The state is seeking compensation for the damage climate change has caused.

KELVIN WAVES

El Niño is raising sea levels by up to a foot on the West Coast thanks to Kelvin Waves, or giant pulses of wave energy. The risks of storm surges, coastal flooding, erosion and saltwater intrusion are greater than ever.

PETRO-DICTATORS

Is Trump the “greatest gift” to the environmental movement? CA governor Gavin Newsom thinks so, due to the fallout of the war in Iran what shattered any sense of energy security and has pushed people towards clean energy.

NATURE’S RIGHTS

Panama’s center-right president, José Raúl Mulino, called on fellow leaders to support a treaty affirming that nature has inherent rights at the UN General Assembly.


DEGREE OF CERTAINTY — Set in 1982, this short film follows a young oil-company analyst who uncovers internal climate science and faces a career-defining choice about what to do with the findings. (Climate Film Festival)

RUNNING OUT OF WATER — There’s a disaster brewing right under our feet, but hardly anyone is talking about it. We’re running out of drinking water, and this year's Super El Niño is making it worse. (The YEARS Project)

HOW TO PLANT A LAKE — A young Aymara climate leader in Bolivia is combining ancestral knowledge, science and community action to restore polluted Uru Uru Lake using floating rafts of native totora reed. (The World Around)

SUPER EL NIÑO — A Super "Godzilla" El Niño? Here's everything you need to know in under 5 minutes. (ASAP Science)


SEA SWELLS

Rising sea level, coastal erosion, larger waves and flooding already plague the Pacific coast, but this “Kelvin Wave” is going to make things worse. These waves create a 6-inch to foot-tall surge and are said to continue through the winter.

UNDER MY UMBRELLA

Could saving corals be as simple as giving them umbrellas? Turns out, shades that block the sun help cool corals and reduce bleaching. Even more, they can reverse bleaching.

COOL CLOTHES

A newly manufactured fabric may have just unlocked wearable temperature regulation. It can turn body motion into electrical signals that switch cooling and heating on when you need them.

ICY ENIGMA

Climate scientist Marika Holland was recently named a MacArthur “Genius” for her work studying the complex interactions between sea ice in Antarctica and the life it supports. See how this grant will further Arctic research.

SAVING POWER

One simple device could free up gigawatts of power for the U.S. grid. Millions of electric motors run inside the country’s buildings, often inefficiently, but this hidden device can slash motors’ power use and reduce grid strain.
