Communities are on the front lines of climate change. Ensuring they have access to justice is key to building a fair and resilient future for everyone. 🌎⚖️ #ClimateAction #LocalClimate

🚨 The U.S. Supreme Court has granted Exxon and Suncor’s request to review a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that allowed Boulder’s climate deception case against the companies to move toward trial.

Let's be clear: Communities paying the price for Big Oil's climate lies deserve their day in court.

Even when federal policies create barriers, local action keeps moving us forward. Community solar + local leadership = lower bills, cleaner air, and real climate solutions where families need them most. 🌱⚡ #localclimateaction #localclimate #climateactionnow @climatecabinet.org
climatecabinet.org Climate Cabinet Action @climatecabinet.org · Sep 9
Federal attacks are making it harder for low-income families to access the savings from solar—but local leaders have the power to forge a path forward anyway

With community solar and on-site arrays, developers and local governments can still cut bills and expand clean energy where it’s needed most
How affordable housing can still go solar, despite Trump turbulence
The Trump admin is trying to claw back funding for low-income solar, but projects can still save residents money if local financing fills in the gaps.

Myth: “Real climate change action can only happen at the national level.”

Fact: Local policies often lead the way! Think renewable energy standards and public transit investments. Change starts in your community 🌍 #sustainability #local #localclimateaction #localclimate #climateactionnow @unep.org

Seattle-based Ridwell collects hard to recycle materials (plastics, batteries, light bulbs) from homes in cities like Los Angeles and the Bay Area. Most curbside programs won’t accept these items. ♻️ #LocalClimate #WasteSolutions

Ridwell, and companies like it, offer to take complex plastic items you can't put in your blue bin and find a home for them. But are they doing more harm than good?

In Texas, Corpus Christi's water crisis may be a glimpse into the future
A brutal five year drought, a failed desalination plant, and poor planning may force the city to choose between residents and industry.
