We are leaders of the most expansive coalition ever assembled in support of climate action in the United States, and among the over 5,000 businesses, cities, states, tribal nations, and faith, health, academic, and cultural institutions that have declared themselves to be All In on climate. We have pledged to place climate considerations at the core of our own institutions and to support robust climate policies and investments at the national and local levels. We recognize that the bipartisan infrastructure deal and a bold and comprehensive reconciliation bill are necessary to seize our country’s best opportunity to achieve meaningful federal climate policy this decade to rise to the climate crisis.

The climate policies and investments proposed in the Build Back Better Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will, when both are signed into law, put our country on a path to cut emissions in half by 2030 while creating jobs, building resilience to climate impacts, and making our economy and our communities stronger.

The scale of the climate crisis requires solutions and investment to match. We emphasize our support for these policies found in the Build Back Better Act:

•  Clean Electricity Performance Plan and tax incentives to achieve 80% clean electricity by 2030 and 100%
  clean electricity by 2035
• Clean building and vehicle incentives to promote efficiency and electrification
•  A methane fee and capping strategy 
• Robust investments for public transit 
• Workforce development programs and a Civilian Climate Corps
