Elders Climate Action

Forests are essential to life on Earth, absorbing carbon, protecting biodiversity, and supporting communities around the world. They provide shade, shelter, and clean air, playing a critical role in the health of our planet. Today, we recognize their immense value and the need to appreciate these vital ecosystems. #InternationalDayOfForests #NatureMatters

As Trump rolls back climate policies, states are stepping up and proving climate action doesn't rely on Washington. From legal challenges to new laws, state leaders are leading the charge: - New York pushes forward with climate legislation, expanding wind and solar energy. - California dedicates $50 million to fight Trump's attacks and hold fossil fuel companies accountable. - Even red states are benefiting from Biden's clean energy incentives, with Republican lawmakers backing renewable energy tax credits. Climate action is happening—on the ground, where it matters. #StateLeadership #RenewableEnergy

It’s clear: we don’t need to wait for Washington to make a change. #ClimateAction #ParisAgreement #LocalLeadership
