U.S. Climate Alliance

🎉 On June 1, 2017, the governors of Washington, New York, & California launched the U.S. Climate Alliance. 9 years later, 24 member states & territories are sustaining America’s fight against climate change. Today, we’re celebrating 9 years with 9 of our favorite milestones across our coalition.

“While the federal government has been blocking climate action, some U.S. cities and states and even neighborhoods have been going in the opposite direction.” Heard on @npr.org Morning Edition.

“I’m doing every single thing I can to chart out this future. Governor @mikiesherrill.bsky.social at @americanprogress.bsky.social Ideas on her work to mobilize local sources of clean energy like solar and battery storage to bring down costs.

Pennsylvania is taking action to green its industrial sector. Last month, @governor.pa.gov unveiled a $267 million investment in 31 manufacturing projects through its Reducing Industrial Sector Emissions in Pennsylvania (RISE PA) program. Learn more ⬇️ www.pa.gov/governor/new...

Under @governorwalz.mn.gov, Minnesota is: ⚡ Pushing for 100% clean energy by 2040 👷 Creating green jobs in every corner of the state 🔌 Expanding EV infrastructure 💡 Making homes and buildings more resilient and efficient 🤝 Cutting red tape for clean energy projects

Maine is on the leading edge of solar technology aimed at cutting household energy costs, thanks to a bill signed by Governor Janet Mills last week. Learn more ⬇️ www.pressherald.com/2026/04/06/p...

Across the Alliance, governors are helping households make energy-efficient upgrades to unlock massive cost savings. See examples ➡️ data.usclimatealliance.org

As @govwesmoore.bsky.social put it: “We're not going to choose between affordability & innovation — we can & we will lead in both.” Check out how our governors are slashing climate pollution at the same time they’re helping lower household energy costs:

Minnesota is pressing forward to build a carbon neutral, equitable & resilient future. Last month, @governorwalz.mn.gov’s administration released its 2026 Climate Action Framework, laying out 400+ actions to mitigate the effects of a warmer, less predictable climate.

California is protecting the power of nature to tackle climate change. More in California’s Natural & Working Lands Carbon Inventory via @airresources.bsky.social ⬇️ ww2.arb.ca.gov/news/report-shows-californias-natural-and-working-lands-absorbed-nearly-twice-carbon-lost-wildfires
