This summer, we’ve seen some of the hottest days on record, as well as erratic weather patterns from flooding to wildfire smoke. It’s clear: we are already living with the impacts of climate change, and we need bold, urgent, and comprehensive action to address it.

We need to move forward on all fronts to climate-proof our infrastructure and transition to a green economy. Doing so must include steps like

• Putting a moratorium on new gas infrastructure expansion so that we can avoid entrenching unsustainable fossil fuel use

• Scaling up investments in green retrofits with a Zero-Carbon Renovation Fund

• Ensuring that the major polluters who caused the climate crisis have to pay for the cost of climate resilience
