We are in a climate emergency.<\/h2>\n

Intensified hurricanes, wildfires, droughts, and other extreme weather disasters are clear signals that we need to act on climate now. Climate-fueled disasters cost the global economy $150 billion in 2019 alone. Between 2010 and 2019, the United States experienced 119 climate disasters that each caused damages of $1 billion or more. That\u2019s more than double the previous decade. This map underscores the current effects that the climate crisis is already having in each state, as well as projected impacts if no action is taken.<\/p>\n

Our greatest concern is for the communities in the path of these increasingly frequent and devastating events. We owe it to these frontline communities to help them recover and rebuild and to do everything we can to fight for real climate solutions.<\/p>\n
