The House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis unveiled a comprehensive plan, Solving the Climate Crisis: The Congressional Action Plan for a Clean Energy Economy and a Healthy, Resilient and Just America, on Tuesday (June 30).
 
The action plan calls for:
-Reaching 100% clean, net zero emissions economy-wide in the U.S. by no later than 2050.
-Establishing interim targets to assess progress and reduce pollution in environmental justice   communities.
-Achieving net-negative emissions during the second half of the century.
 
“We have a plan – and it comes at a critical time,” said House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis Chairwoman Kathy Castor. “Our plan will put people back to work and rebuild in a way that benefits all of us. That means environmental justice and our vulnerable communities are at the center of the solutions we propose. The health of our families and the air we breathe are at the heart of our plan. We chart the course to good-paying jobs in solar and wind energy, in manufacturing American-made electric vehicles, and in strengthening communities, so they are more resilient to flooding, extreme heat, intense hurricanes and wildfires.”
