Climate Hawai'i’s Post

To all of my connections, but mainly those in Florida.. This is why voting matters, up and down the ballot. Governors can be an agent for change in your state. Or, much like Ron DeSantis, they can stand in the way of great progress. Science and facts are objective, and can’t be ignored. Climate Change is real, it’s not a hoax or a radical leftist agenda. And it’s not a red state issue or a blue state issue, it’s a global issue. This year and every year, we need to vote climate deniers OUT of office, and be the stewards of the progress we seek. Help save our planet (i.e. our future). #vote #defundron #climatelegislation #savetheplanet

Inspired by the recent win in Montana, the Juliana v. United States case embodies the resilience of young activists like Nathan Baring fighting for climate justice. This groundbreaking trial could redefine governmental responsibility in addressing climate change. The dedication of these young plaintiffs may set a new legal precedent, ensuring a sustainable future for all. Let's discuss the potential impact of this case on global climate policies. #ClimateChange #Justice #JulianaVUS What are your thoughts on this pivotal case?

Connecticut legislators have the opportunity to pass meaningful climate and clean energy legislation this session. The Connecticut Coalition for Climate Action is focusing on the following four priorities: 1. Updating Emissions Targets Set in the Global Warming Solutions Act 2. Expanding Renewable Energy Development 3. Heat Pump Deployment and Building Electrification 4. Investing in Home Energy Solutions-Income Eligible Energy Efficiency Program At Sound Off for Climate Action Day, I gave a briefing in support of HB 5485: An Act Concerning Transportation Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles. The two other bills discussed by fellow advocates were HB 5232: An Act Concerning Solar Policy Throughout the State and HB 5004: An Act Concerning the Implementation of Certain Climate Change Measures. Now you might be wondering, "What exactly are 'Certain Climate Change Measures?'" Let me tell you only some of excites Acadia Center in this climate omnibus bill: - Section 4: Updates to the GWSA: adds emissions reductions targets of 65% by 2040, and net-zero by 2050 - Section 6. Future of Gas Docket: opens a proceeding at the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority to discuss Connecticut's natural gas distribution infrastructure through the transition to renewable energy - Section 11: Connecticut Clean Energy Council: establishes a council to advise on strategies, policies, and funding to meet the state's climate goals - Section 17: Heat Pump Deployment Targets: develops and implements a plan to install not less than 310,000 residential heat pumps HB 5004 has the potential to be a huge win for climate and clean energy action in Connecticut.

Acadia Center is proud to be a member of a key advocacy group leading climate and clean energy efforts in the state!

Ugh, we're with you. Having a rep that is anti-climate is frustrating. And it's easy to feel silenced. But do not give up your power. Own it. Your power as a constituent is to make the role of “climate obstructionist” feel like an unpopular one. It’s easier for an elected official to abdicate responsibility on climate if they can say “I never hear from my constituents on that issue.” 🙉 Make sure they hear from you. 👉 By voicing support for climate action, you’re applying much-needed pressure to anyone who denies climate science and fails to act on your behalf. Keep calling. Keep emailing. 🔥 Public attitudes are used to prioritize policy issues – climate action always needs to be a priority. 🌿💻✨ Climate Changemakers has modern step-by-step playbooks and a community network to be with you every step of the way!✨ Get in on the action: https://lnkd.in/gTSH5pVx #climatechange #climatescience #scienceisreal #climatedenial #callcongress #cleantech #renewableenergy #advocacy #changemakers

❗CALL FOR REPARATIONS AND REAL SOLUTIONS❗ Climate Advocacy and Campaign Briefer 🔗DOWNLOAD: https://bit.ly/RRSbriefer 👉The Global Call for Reparations and Real Solutions is a campaign that emphasises the need for reparations for the exploitation and ecosystem degradation related to historical and enduring injustices inflicted by the global North on the global South. Central to the campaign is demanding that the global North countries pay up for their colonial plunder and climate debt and redirect finance away from dangerous distractions towards solutions that address the roots of the climate crisis. The briefer contains key messages and demands for #ClimateReparations and #RealSolutions, as well as links to materials for campaigning.

Children in California are on the frontlines of the climate crisis. The EPA is allowing life-threatening levels of climate pollution, discriminating against children, and discounting the economic value of their lives and futures.

In recent years, the climate justice debate has gained traction calling for urgent action on climate change as the clock is ticking. People in the Global North are raising their voices calling on their governments to act on climate change, while people in the Global South are raising their voices and talking about the historical responsibility of the developed world and the uneven use of carbon budgets. Activists and thinkers argue that people in the rich Global North owe the poor Global South a debt based on historical GHG emissions. Apart from historical responsibility, Climate Justice has many facets linked to it. In my video, I have discussed the various aspects of climate justice along with their importance and challenges. Below is the video link: https://lnkd.in/gnSAKdbv I’d love to hear what you have to say about the climate justice debate and how the world can go about solving this problem without having any effect on the overall global climate action plan. #climatechange #climateaction #climatejustice #ghg #indigenouspeoples #youthempowerment #sustainablefuture #justtransition #sustainabledevelopment
