In 2024, states continued to enact ambitious policies driving the U.S. transition to clean energy. In the League of Conservation Voters’ (LCV) latest annual Clean Energy For All: Clean Energy Success in the States report, we detail how 31 states made exciting clean energy progress in 2024 led by our affiliated organizations in the Conservation Voters Movement.

Each month, LCV shares five stories about the impact of our work. This month, we’re focusing on new pro-climate leaders in Congress, schools' clean energy investments, Biden's record-breaking 670 million acres of lands and waters conserved, the increasingly diverse judicial bench, and Montana's monumental climate win.

Every week, we round up five of the best good climate news stories we're celebrating. This week we cover construction on an offshore wind hub for NYC, record investments in clean energy, Maryland's executive order to address climate change, new EPA guidance to protect aquatic ecosystems, and an Illinois plan to meet its decarbonization goals.
