The future is uncertain, but our mission is not. We sued Donald Trump over 150 times as president in his first term—fighting every time for the planet and its people. We will not be shaken. We will not be silenced.

The climate and biodiversity crises we’re facing pose real challenges and tradeoffs. But there are clear solutions to rapidly build out the clean energy needed to avert the worst climate impacts, while preserving critical ecosystems along the way. groundshift.us/a-nature-frie…

A Nature-Friendly Clean Energy Future

The rapid buildout of renewables could make the extinction crisis worse. It’s a problem we can—and must—solve.

Kenya is leading the way on clean electrification. More than 90% of the country’s electricity already comes from renewable sources. Across Africa, falling costs for solar, batteries, and other electric technologies are opening new paths to affordable, reliable power.

Countries are advancing a proposed goal to raise electricity’s share of global final energy demand to 35% by 2035. International financial support can help build a faster transition that delivers clean, affordable, and reliable energy for communities everywhere.

The Trump administration has illegally issued seven different presidential proclamations across six industries to give facilities a free pass to spew toxic pollution. We are already headed to court to challenge these illegal exemptions and will continue to defend the air we breathe.

Climate disasters are already displacing communities. Global leaders must invest finance in adaptation and resilience so communities can prepare for disasters, not just respond after the damage is done. 👇🧵

More than 65 countries have developed National Adaptation Plans to identify climate risks and protect communities. Now, global leaders must turn plans into action and deliver the support that communities need to adapt.

Offshore wind is growing worldwide—it could soon generate enough power for over 450 million homes across the globe—but the Trump administration has blocked wind projects that would create jobs and deliver affordable power, even as energy demand and prices surge. on.nrdc.org/4rmfUGm

Scientists warn that we’re on track to exceed 1.5℃ of warming—the dangerous threshold that experts urge us to avoid—as unnatural disasters devastate communities. Despite attacks from the Trump administration, global leaders must, backed by science, protect people and the natural world.

Coal and gas power plants already produce nearly a quarter of the country’s emissions. Now, Big Tech’s data centers could have free rein to spew climate-warming pollution too. We’ll see Trump’s EPA in court and stop this illegal attack on our planet.
