Minnesota is pressing forward to build a carbon neutral, equitable & resilient future.

Last month, @governorwalz.mn.gov’s administration released its 2026 Climate Action Framework, laying out 400+ actions to mitigate the effects of a warmer, less predictable climate.

No state or province can handle the climate crisis alone. Working together will lead to greater progress in reducing emissions, as well as more predictability for businesses as they invest in clean energy and develop their own strategies for a cleaner future.

Building more affordable housing near transit expands options, cuts costs, reduces emissions, and saves Coloradans time. Colorado is removing barriers to build more homes β€” and it’s great to see these laws delivering results.

I’m authorizing a $590 million emergency loan to support Bay Area transit.

With more than 3 million riders relying on public transit in the Bay Area every month, we're making sure this integral system remains strong while leaders in the area advance long-term solutions.

Bay Area transit is essential to California's economy, workforce, and climate goals.

Trump's EPA revokes scientific finding that underpinned US fight against climate change The Environmental Protection Agency has revoked a key scientific finding that supported U.S. regulations on greenhouse gas emissions.

Rolling back the Endangerment Finding puts us on a path towards more extreme heat, severe storms, and devastating floods. And that's not just bad for our health β€” it's bad for our economy.

Yet again, President Trump is putting American lives and livelihoods at risk.
