We are at a turning point. Climate change and related extreme weather events are already impacting our communities and the natural resources we depend on.

Droughts and flooding are becoming more intense, the oceans are becoming more acidic, our water supplies are shrinking, agricultural yields are dropping, sea levels are rising, and forests are burning in unprecedented wildfires.

Extreme weather events are costing American communities billions of dollars annually. If we do nothing, these impacts threaten to grow increasingly severe and costly over time. But the climate agreement reached in Paris offers us a real opportunity to act together to limit the damage and ensure a safer future for our children. We must seize this historic opportunity.
