Change the Chamber

These 15 major corporations may release positive climate goals and statements, but how do their actions measure up? Check out this new scorecard by ClimateVoice to see where these companies stand, along with actions you can take to urge them to act on climate!

?? The United States Supreme Court has rejected requests from major polluters to suspend the Environmental Protection Agency's sensible #carbonpollution standards for #powerplants. Until now, power plants have been able to release unlimited carbon emissions, contributing to the #extremeweather we've seen this summer. ?? The EPA's regulations for existing coal-fired and new gas-fired power plants are crucial for reducing #climatepollution and protecting public health. Today's ruling correctly dismisses the absurdity of polluters seeking emergency relief from standards that won't take effect for years, marking a victory in the fight against #climatechange. ??? However, the battle continues, as polluters plan to challenge these essential standards in lower courts. It is vital for the lower court to act swiftly on the merits of the case. We remain committed to #DefendOurClimate and advocate for further federal action on climate pollution. This decision follows previous rulings this month in which the Court also denied attempts to block EPA regulations on mercury and methane, both significant wins for #publichealth. #SolutionsForPollution

I’m honored to be featured in the PBS / The WNET Group / ALL ARTS documentary "Climate Artists", which highlights my journey as both a musician and an environmental advocate - two parts of me that often exist as one. Working on this film has revealed to me how deeply advocacy and the arts are intertwined. Both harness the boundless power of language and storytelling, especially as words alone seem to fail more with each passing day to capture the full weight of the world's realities. Immense gratitude to the amazing team of producers and editors - Shant Alexander Kristy Geslain Chelsea Rugg Daniel Tam-Claiborne?? - for their talent in making my life look infinitely cooler than it normally is, even if just for a day.

#SCOTUS rejected requests to halt the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s pollution standards to #CutMethane from the oil and gas sector.

?? The #climatecrisis affects everyone, but its impact on women and girls is particularly severe. At the recent UN climate conference (SB 60) in Bonn, gender inequality was overshadowed by a range of pressing issues, despite its critical importance. It’s alarming that #climatechange could push an additional 158 million women and girls into poverty, underscoring the need for their voices in these discussions. ?? Young women, as future leaders, should have the opportunity to share their experiences and propose solutions. Ensuring #genderequality is prioritized at #COP29 and beyond is vital, not just for fairness, but for an effective response to the climate crisis. #EnvironmentalJustice #EJFriday

?? A recent poll reveals that over a third of Gen Z is concerned they might have to leave their hometowns due to #climatechange, particularly water-related issues. This survey, conducted by Gallup and the Walton Family Foundation, shows strong bipartisan support among young people for holding politicians accountable for addressing these challenges. ?? Many Gen Zers have grown up witnessing significant #environmental crises, like the Gulf oil spill and the Flint water crisis, which have shaped their fears about the future. With 88% of voting-age Gen Z believing politicians must tackle water issues, there's a clear demand for political action on climate matters. ??? As this generation becomes increasingly influential in elections, their unified stance could lead to significant changes in how politicians approach #climatechange.
