Declare a climate emergency

Recognizing the escalating climate crisis, it is imperative that the United States joins the 2,100 local governments and 39 countries that have declared a climate emergency. This declaration is not merely symbolic, but a commitment to prioritize climate change mitigation. The United Nations Development Programme survey indicates a majority consensus, with 64% of respondents acknowledging climate change as a global emergency. It is crucial that we align our actions with this understanding. Therefore, I urge you to advocate for President Biden to declare a climate emergency, setting the stage for urgent, comprehensive, and people-centered policies to address this crisis. This is a pivotal moment in our history, and our actions now will determine the future we leave for generations to come.
