Climate change is the greatest challenge of our generation, and it causes the most harm to communities that have been historically exploited by corporate polluters and harmful policies: low-income communities, indigenous communities and communities of color. There’s no time to wait – we must build a future that works well for all of us.
The League of Conservation Voters is laser-focused on achieving meaningful and equitable reductions in pollution, and on building a clean energy economy that works for us all.
An economy that works well for all of us will:
And none of that can happen unless we have a robust, inclusive and anti-racist climate movement.
To get there, LCV and our network of 30+ state affiliates work jointly on government investments, policy, elections, and accountability at all levels of government.
Clean Energy for All is a grassroots campaign to reject fossil fuels and embrace clean energy nationwide. Led by LCV and our 30+ state affiliates, this campaign works to enact change at the state and local levels to advance clean energy solutions that cut pollution and protect public health.

LCV’s Chispa (“spark” in Spanish) program builds the power of Latinx and other communities of color to achieve climate justice, community health, and environmental protections at the local and state level.

Fighting for urgent climate action requires massive grassroots support. Through our Climate Action program, volunteers lead meaningful change online and on the ground in their local communities.

“Few organizations are as ready for this fight as LCV — you are organized, you are strategic, and you are steeled. For that reason, few organizations have made a bigger difference.”
In this special Earth Week edition of Good Climate News, we're celebrating a series of announcements from the Biden-Harris administration, including new rules to cut power plant pollution, the American Climate Corps launch, a Solar for All program, a hazardous substance designation for PFAS, and a new partnership to protect freshwater resources.
Home energy efficiency projects large and small, appliance upgrades, and switching to a clean car can add up to big savings year over year on utilities and maintenance. Clean energy tax incentives to help make these upgrades and swaps are available thanks to the Biden-Harris administration’s affordable clean energy plan. Get an overview of the many incentives available and tools to help you plan your clean energy updates.
The connection between environmental and disability policy is critical, and often overlooked. As climate change fueled disasters are on the rise, LCV and Disability Victory highlight how disability equity is critical for disaster preparedness and response.
A look at the Capitol Hill origins of Earth Day (and LCV) in 1970, and the abundance of federal climate action wins we’re celebrating today. From climate justice, to clean energy and transportation, to prioritizing healthy communities and conservation over polluters, the Biden-Harris administration is leading the way on climate progress.
Every Monday, we round up five of the best good climate news stories we're celebrating. This week we cover new protections for the Western Arctic and public lands, increased prices for oil and gas drilling leases, clean energy permitting successes, and the expansion of four national wildlife refuges.
