Our economy, our health, and our ability to spend time outside doing the things we love are threatened by climate change.
From ongoing mega drought, dangerous ground-level ozone pollution, and heat waves to frequent catastrophic wildfires and erratic, devastating floods, communities across the West are experiencing the impacts of climate change right now, in real time.
The impacts of the climate crisis are no longer a looming threat in the distant or even near future, they are now a present reality, and are being disproportionately felt by Western communities in the U.S. Western Resource Advocates is working across our organization and throughout our region to help bolster community resilience to these impacts.
Our team of policy experts, scientists, economists, and attorneys drive solutions to climate change and its impacts. We work with policymakers and other advocates to advance clean energy, protect air, land, water, and wildlife — and sustain the lives and livelihoods of the West.
There's much work to be done to reduce greenhouse gas pollution to the levels climate scientists say is needed to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change. Sign your name and help us fight climate change in the West!
