Climate Change

The League joined a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) urging the agency to expeditiously move forward with regulations to cut methane emissions.

“The public is strongly in favor of reducing the deadly effects that carbon pollution has on the health of our children and our environment,” said League President MacNamara.

On Earth Day, I met with the Counselor to President Obama and the White House Office of Public Engagement, along with other advocates, to talk about the President’s Climate Action Plan.

Celebrate Earth Day with the League by telling the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to fight climate change.

In 2009, League members came together to develop the League’s Climate Change Task Force. Local and state Leagues are committed to addressing environmental concerns that arise in their communities.

We must let the EPA know that we need to act immediately to protect the future of our planet, including our lives and the lives of our children.

It's amazing what you see when you're taking a 3,000 mile walk! On March 1, climate change activists began walking east from Los Angeles. In November, we will finish our journey in Washington, DC.

We are pleased with the Obama Administration's new proposal to limit the amount of carbon pollution for power plants. Climate change is the greatest challenge of our lifetime.

The League of Women Voters has been at the forefront of the environmental protection movement for decades, consistently supporting legislation to preserve our nation’s natural resources, prevent climate change and protect our public health.

Following today’s EPA proposal of the first-ever national carbon pollution standards for new power plants, a coalition of environmental and progressive groups, supporting strong clean air standards, pledged their support for this important action.
