The Global Democracy Program is the League of Women Voters’ program for activists and nongovernmental organizations worldwide.

The State of Climate Change
The League of Women Voters believes that now is the time to act on global climate change. We can reduce global warming pollution by using existing technologies to make power plants and factories more efficient, make cars go farther on a gallon of gasoline, and shift to cleaner technologies. Cities, states and individuals are already adopting many of these solutions, which also reduce our dependence on oil, reduce air pollution, and protect pristine places from oil drilling and mining. State and local initiatives are proving that answers exist. In August 2008, the League called for a moratorium on new construction of coal-fired electric power plants. |
