This week, 2020 Democratic presidential candidates rolled out climate proposals, signed the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge, and more. For updates on how the entire field is campaigning on climate change, check out www.changetheclimate2020.com.

Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) rolled out America’s Climate Change Plan–”a strong road map for confronting the climate crisis.” Bennet’s plan commits to achieving net-zero emissions by no later than 2050, putting forth an infrastructure agenda that incentivizes green solutions, conserving 30 percent of our lands and oceans by 2030, pledging to partner with American agriculture to combat the crisis while improving economic opportunities for people working on our lands, and engaging youth leaders in a “Next Generation Climate Board of Directors.”

We commend @MichaelBennet‘s “America’s Climate Change Plan”—a road map for climate action. Committing to major goals like achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 reflects the kind of ambitious plan needed to #ActOnClimate on day one as president#ChangeTheClimate2020 pic.twitter.com/QLCLMYnxLy

Former Congressman John Delaney (D-MD) released additional elements of his plan to tackle climate change. Delaney’s plan includes a carbon fee, which would “reduce carbon pollution by 91%,” increased funding for clean energy research, a climate corps service program, and a carbon throughway network, which “would enable continued oil extraction at a time when we need more than ever to transition away from fossil fuels.”

We have to act on climate and we have to act now. Failure to act threatens our prosperity, national security, food supply, and the natural world. https://t.co/RjUKjX5RoH

Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA) announced a national service plan, which creates a Federal Green Corps ”a new service organization with the mission of combating climate change and protecting our environment.”

Much like the Civilian Conservation Corps built & maintained our National Parks in the 1930s, the Federal Green Corps will take on projects to make communities more resilient from rising oceans, ensure clean air & water, & retrofit public buildings to make them energy-efficient.

No money from corporate PACs, DC lobbyists, OR the fossil fuel industry. It’s that simple.

Since day one, my campaign refused contributions from PACs, corporations, and lobbyists. Today I announced we’re also refusing contributions from oil, gas, and coal executives—so you know my priorities are with the health of our families, climate and democracy. #NoFossilFuelMoney pic.twitter.com/dwHoMklrzy
